For people who lived in Croatia
A licensed Croatian lawyer gets the certificate for you. You do not need to travel to Croatia. You only send a copy of your passport and a signed form.
The basics
It is a document from the Croatian Ministry of Justice. It shows if you have a criminal record in Croatia or not. Other names for it: criminal record certificate, or “uvjerenje o nekažnjavanju” in Croatian.
People who lived or worked in Croatia and now apply for residence, citizenship, a visa or a job in another country, for example in Spain, Portugal or Canada.
An apostille is a stamp from a Croatian court. With it, other countries accept the document. The apostille is included in our price.
Two things: a copy of your passport photo page, and a signed power of attorney. A power of attorney is a short form. It lets our lawyer apply for you. You do not need a notary.
How it works
Fill in the order form and upload a copy of your passport. It takes about 10 minutes.
Print the form, sign it by hand and upload a photo or scan. No notary is needed.
We email you an invoice. When you pay it, our lawyer starts work.

Croatian law does not give it an end date. The country where you apply decides how old the certificate can be. Often this is 3 to 6 months from the date on the certificate. Ask the office where you apply, and order when you are almost ready to apply.
Yes. The OIB is a Croatian personal number. You do not need it to apply. If you have one, you can add it to your order.
