What documents you will need to prepare?
The best advice we get for you in our General Registar Office is to go to your
local Registar Office and ask them to prepare a documentation for you to get married in Croatia. All papers have to be translated to Crotian and you will have to have
an offical translator with you in Registar Office here in Croatia. Dont
worry there are many offical translators in every city in Croatia.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
All documentation is required to be original or certified copies and translatedinto Croatian by the relevant authorities.
Your Certificate of No Impediment / Certificate of Freedom to Marry must not be older than 3 months (90 days).
All documentation must be submitted to the Registrar at the Town Hall 30 to 45 days prior to your wedding taking place. If you are using a wedding planner they will organise this on your behalf. However, if you are organising your own wedding you will need to make provisions to ensure your documentation is correctly submitted and lodged on time.
The following documentation for both the bride and groom is required to be presented when applying for a marriage licence in Croatia.
- Certificate of No Impediment / Certificate of Freedom to Marry bearing the stamp apostille
