Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (Costa Rica)
Decides what it meansCosta Rica's electoral tribunal, which decides naturalisation through its Sección de Opciones y Naturalizaciones, runs the Civil Registry, and publishes the Constitution and its own naturalisation regulation.
A court, which decides what an instrument means. Its answers bind, but only on the questions actually put to it.

It must not be cited for migration status or residency requirements. It hosts a copy of the Reglamento de Extranjería, but that copy is the 2012 text and is not consolidated, and attributing a migration rule to the electoral tribunal puts the rule under the wrong authority. Its two-column procedure PDFs also extract badly - words come back garbled - so a quotation from them is trustworthy only where the stored line reads cleanly, and that judgement has to be recorded.
