where have u married her i will help u on this forum

We got married in Pakistan. we have (nadra computerized) Marriage Certificate which is not acceptable in Costa Rica until it is Apositlled by a member country in Hague convention OR it is legalized by any third country.

So I tired to make the legalization, for that I would have to attest the documents from a certain embassy in Islamabad and then Ministry of Foreign affairs from that country and finally Costa Rica embassy in that country.

Only then the documents will be acceptable in Costa Rica.

Many nations will not accept Nadra or any other computer generated Marriage Certificates or Birth Certificates, they want original documents that bear a raised seal. I think you're just out of luck on this one my friend. If you can't get it authenticated by your own country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs first then Costa Rica Consulate certainly will never accept it for legalization.

The documents are attested by ministry of foreign affairs in Pakistan, but the Costa Rica requires that such documents should be attested by Costa Rican embassy in any country.

In order to attest from any Costa Rican Embassy in New Delhi, India here is an example .

1) The documents should be attested by ministry of foreign affair in the country of Issuance (in this case Pakistan)(Already Done).
2) The documents should be attested by the Embassy of India, In Islamabad Pakistan.
3) The documents should be attested from the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi, India.
4) After all of the above attestations the Embassy of Costa Rica in New Delhi, India will accept  the documents for attestation.

OR

Someone from USA can take these documents for Apostille, after that my Wife can present the apostilled copies in person at the Civil Registry in Costa Rica.

I have tried to make the legalization from many embassies, but all of the embassies in Islamabad whose country have relations with Costa Rica are not willing to legalize that's why I posted this here so maybe someone can help.

You know what is the meaning of apostal ???  Apostal ka matlab hota hai ( halfia biyan )

Apostilles are affixed by Competent Authorities designated by the government of a state which is party to the convention.[2] A list of these authorities is maintained by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. Examples of designated authorities are embassies, ministries, courts or (local) governments. For example, in the United States, the Secretary of State of each state and his or her deputies are usually competent authorities. In the United Kingdom, all apostilles are issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Milton Keynes.[3]

To be eligible for an apostille, a document must first be issued or certified by an officer recognised by the authority that will issue the apostille. For example, in the US state of Vermont, the Secretary of State maintains specimen signatures of all notaries public, so documents that have been notarised are eligible for apostilles.[4] Likewise, courts in the Netherlands are eligible of placing an apostille on all municipal civil status documents directly. In some cases, intermediate certifications may be required in the country where the document originates before it will be eligible for an apostille. For example, in New York City, the Office of Vital Records (which issues, among other things, birth certificates) is not directly recognised by the New York Secretary of State.[5] As a consequence, the signature of the City Clerk must be certified by the County Clerk of New York County to make the birth certificate eligible for an apostille.[6][7] In Japan all the official documents are issued in Japanese language, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA, JAPAN) then provides an apostille for these documents.[8] In India the apostille certification can be obtained from the Ministry of External Affairs[9]

apostille is an additional authentication required for international acceptance of notarized documents including  adoption papers, affidavits, birth certificates, contracts, death certificates, deeds, diplomas and degrees, divorce decrees, incorporation papers, marriage certificates, patent etc and brothers Pakistan is one of the non-apsotille countries.but we have a document which can be use as apostille and it is not affidavit (halfia biyan) make on stamp paper.well we will try to help u brother
