Documents

Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates

Available. Birth (Ivzod iz maticne knjige rodenih), marriage (Ivzod iz maticne knjige vjencanih) and death certificates (Ivzod iz maticne knjige umrlih) are available from the civil registrar (Maticni ured) having jurisdiction over the locality where the event occurred. Prior to May 10, 1946, these records were maintained by church authorities where civil records were kept. Since that date, only civil marriages have been legal. Marriage by proxy is not usual, but is possible.

Divorce Certificates

Available copies of divorce judgement are available from the district court (Okruzni Sud) which decided the case. A divorce certificate is typewritten and only a divorce obtained through the civil court is legal.

Statement of Unmarried Status

The Civil Register (Maticni Ured) having jurisdiction over a person’s birth may issue a certificate (Uvjerenje o Slobodnom Bracnom Stanju) stating that the applicant is not married.

Note: Non-residents may apply for these documents through a Croatian diplomatic or consular mission or by writing directly to the issuing office.

Police Records

Available. A certificate (Uvjerenje) issued by the Ministry of Justice, Administration and Local Self-Government (Ministarstvo pravosuda, Odjel kaznene evidencije) shows whether the applicant has been convicted of any crimes and the articles of law involved. A similar document is issued by the Municipal Court (Opcinski Sud) of the district in which the applicant last resided, and shows whether the applicant is currently under investigation in any criminal matter. Visa applicants are required to obtain both documents.

Prison Records

Available. A statement of the time spent in an institution can be obtained from the district court (Opcinski Sud) where the person was sentenced.

Military Records

Available. A certificate issued by the Ministry of Defense (Ministarstvo obrane) according to Article 171 of the Law of General Administrative Code (Zupanski Zakon o Upravnom Postupku) is acceptable.

Identity card

Available. All residents of Croatia who have reached their sixteenth birthday must carry an identity card (Osbona Iskaznica) issued by the Police Department (MUP). It contains the photograph, date and place of birth and address of the bearer, serial and registry number and person’s signature. For persons under sixteen, parents may apply for identity cards.

Note: Old identity cards (issued under the former Yugoslav government) for Croatian citizens were valid only until October 7, 1993.

Special Clearance and Issuance Procedures

On June 26, 2001, the President signed a 212(f) proclamation for the Western Balkans (to include Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, and Serbia and Montenegro). This proclamation gives authority for suspending the entry of certain categories of individuals into the United States. The proclamation states that these categories include those "who seek to undermine peace, stability, reconciliation or democratic development in any area or state of the Western Balkans region." Although no specific nationalities are named, the primary targets of this proclamation are individuals who have been identified as obstructing the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia and Herzegovina and those who are seen to be attempting to destabilize Kosovo and Macedonia. In addition, those believed to be responsible for wartime atrocities in the region since 1991 are also included under this proclamation.

VO enters the names of suspected offenders into CLASS. As with any "00" hit, posts are expected to send in a Security Advisory Opinion (SAO). These SAOs should be in Donkey or Bear format as appropriate and should be slugged for CA/VO/L/C and EUR/SCE. The Department's response is required to visa issuance. In addition, there may be individuals who are not in CLASS, but about whom posts may have suspicions. Posts are encouraged to send in SAOs to CA/VO/L/C for anyone whom they believe may be affected by the limitations of the 212(f), regardless of the results of the CLASS name check. The SAO should give as many details as possible to explain why post believes the applicant may be ineligible under 212(f).
