Passports

 Peter, 

You may want to go straight for the US passport and forget the Costa Rican one for now. With the CR passport, you will need a visa for many countries that you may travel to. And visas for many countries can be costly.

The US one was pretty easy. Since my wife is Canadian, I had to jump through a few more hoops than if both parents are from the USA.

I had to show my proof of citizenship and show that I was present in the US for 5 years. I did that with military and school records. Also your marriage certificate. Two passport photos, which can be done at the embassy.

Also if you call the Embassy in Pavas, you can get some good information.  2220-3939
