History
Nuestra Señora del Carmen is in the Diócesis de Alajuela within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the district of Carmen, canton of Alajuela, and province of Alajuela.

The Diócesis de Alajuela was erected on 16 February 1921 from Diocese of San José de Costa Rica. Records kept at the parish level likely stayed within the parish, but records made before 1921 may be housed in another archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.
