Renting in Croatia? You May Need a Certified Translation of Your Lease
If you’re an expat registering with MUP or applying for temporary/permanent residence, you may be required to submit a certified translation of your lease agreement (ugovor o najmu) or other proof of accommodation.
These documents help confirm your legal address (prijava boravišta), which is a crucial step in residency, visa, and tax procedures.
Which Documents Require Translation?
- Lease/rental agreement (ugovor o najmu)
- Statement from your landlord (often notarized)
- Utility bills (as proof of address)
- Notarial address declarations
Why Certified Translation?
Croatian authorities require translations done by court-certified translators (sudski tumači). A regular translation or summary will be rejected. Certified translations must include:
- Official translator’s stamp and signature
- Accurate and complete translation of all clauses
- Same-day delivery available
