Good afternoon everyone! So I am hoping to find someone who has married a Tico or Tica and changed their last name - as is typical in the USA for us to do but not so much in Costa Rica. My concern is that my Cedula will have my Birth name and my Passport has my Married name - my lawyer submitted my residency application with my birth name. Has anyone had this happen? Should the lawyer have submitted with my married last name? She did submit both my passports (my old one with my birth name listed and my current with my married last name).
We had our interview in November 2022 there in Liberia. No one even asked me for my ID/passport only my husbands. We had our interview and seems to have gone good. Still waiting for their decision - I assume being so close to the holiday season it will take a bit longer.
Anyhow, any information or experience you might have on the name situation please let me know. Surely someone out there is in the same situation. :-)
Pura Vida
Corey
