Only in Costa Rica.
So when you get your Birth Certificate from the hospital its not really a birth certificate. Although it does say it is on the document. In order to receive the real one, you have to go to downtown San Jose to the Registro Civil. Its kind of a cross between a house of mirrors and the DMV in the 80's. Confusion, lines, stamps, and multiple floors all designed to deceive you. Dont' be fooled here by waiting in the mother / disabled / and elderly line. These musical chairs only fake you by showing signs of moving. We were spared by an angel who allowed us to jump in front of her. The cuteness of the little one seemed to part the spanish red sea.
We did our best to document this event, but like any CR government process it is best experienced.
The Registro in all of its glory.
Musical Chairs.
