Travelers’ passports must be in good condition for them to be accepted in Costa Rica.
Make a copy of your passport to keep at home and to send to Costa Rica Explorations to have on record in case a passport goes missing.
To apply for a passport or renew your passport go to US Department of State click on the “Passports” button and follow directions according to your needs. Start this process as soon as possible, because it can take weeks to get your passport.
