This little building is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is where you need to take paperwork from other countries to get them authenticated. (See http://www.nicaliving.com/node/13724 and, well, lots of other pages about the process.) It is located among the other government buildings, just south of the Chancelleria (which is a big, tall building).
Authentications
If someone needs to legalize a document in this Ministry must paid in the bank, usually C$ 15.00 (Cordobas) at the bank per document; however always there are two people one in the main entrance - a woman selling coca cola and other things - and a man in the back, in the fence, who sells the bill of the bank for C$ 10.00 Cordobas more that's mean by C$ 25.00 and will save time in a bank.
Legalizations or authentications are made immediately, however usually there are a lot of people waiting for the same job, so will be necessary to wait about one hour.-
If I am right people over 60's are assisted immediately!
It is funny a lot of foreign people complains about the bureaucracy in Nicaragua. The same paperwork in Mexico takes 3 days, so you must submit it and return 3 days later.!!!
