Costa Rican passport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Costa Rican Passports are issued to Costa Rican citizens to travel outside of Costa Rica. It is valid for 5 years, and can be renewed for another 5 years. It is issued to people born in Costa Rican soil (who are citizens by default), and to children of Costa Rican citizens born abroad, who are reported to the nearest Costa Rican embassy (who, immediately after such report, become citizens too).
