Applying for Croatian citizenship can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to gathering and translating all the required documents. Birth certificates, marriage certificates, criminal record extracts, diplomas — all of these need to be officially translated into Croatian by a certified translator.
The good news? You don’t have to live in Croatia to get these translations done. In fact, you can save time and money by hiring a certified Croatian court interpreter directly in Croatia — without leaving the U.S.
Why You Don’t Need to Be in Croatia to Translate Your Documents
Thanks to digitalization, your documents can be translated 100% online. All you need to do is:
- Scan or photograph your original documents.
- Send them by email to a certified translator in Croatia.
- Receive your translated documents in PDF the same day.
If you need physical copies for submission, hard copies can be shipped internationally (via DHL or regular post).
Certified Croatian Translators vs. U.S. Agencies
In the U.S., certified translation services can cost up to 3 times more than in Croatia. The Ministry of the Interior and Croatian consulates actually require translations done by a Croatian court interpreter (sudski tumač).
This means you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars per document at a U.S. agency when you can get a legally valid translation directly from Croatia — at a fraction of the cost.
Are Translations from Croatia Accepted in Citizenship Applications?
Yes. For Croatian citizenship, translations must be done by a court-certified translator in Croatia. These translations are officially recognized by:
- Croatian Ministry of the Interior (MUP)
- Croatian courts

So, whether you live in Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles, translations done in Croatia are accepted in your application.
