QCOSTARICA – Drivers are reminded that starting today, January 1, that there is a change in the vehicle restrictions and the Marchamo 2021 (circulation) permit sticker should be on the windshield, to avoid fines and possible seizure of license plate and/or vehicle.

Marchamo

The 2021 Marchamo was due and payable by December 31. Vehicles circulating today without the Marchamo paid and the sticker on the windshield (proper placement is in the passenger side), are subject to a fine of ¢55,000 colones and/or seizure of license or vehicle.
