Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring a photo for my Costa Rica driver's license?
No. For the regular Costa Rica driver's license (licencia de conducir), the photo is taken digitally at your COSEVI or BCR appointment. You don't need to bring your own photo.
What size photo is used for Costa Rica driver's license?
The digital photo taken at your appointment follows the standard 35x45mm format used for Costa Rica ID documents. If you want to prepare beforehand or have a backup, use 35x45mm with a white background.
Can I wear glasses in my Costa Rica driver's license photo?
Yes, but only if you have a medical prescription requiring them. Your eyes must still be clearly visible without glare or obstruction from the frames or lenses.
What documents do I need for a Costa Rica driver's license?
You need a valid cédula (for citizens) or residency card (for residents), a digital medical certificate (dictamen médico) valid for 180 days, and proof of passing the theoretical and practical exams. Foreigners need at least 91 days in Costa Rica.
How long does it take to get the Costa Rica driver's license?
In most cases, the license is issued the same day as your appointment. The photo, fingerprint, and signature are taken digitally, and you receive your license within minutes.
