For Applicants from Australia

If you are applying for Croatian citizenship from Australia, you will need to prepare several official documents. These include birth certificates, marriage certificates, and police clearances. These documents must be:

Apostilled in Australia – Apostilles are issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Without this certification, your Australian documents cannot be used in Croatia.
Translated into Croatian by a court-certified translator (sudski tumač) – Croatian authorities only accept official certified translations.

Why work with a certified translator in Croatia instead of an Australian agency?

Many Australians first look for local translation agencies, but soon realize that:

Prices in Australia are often two to three times higher than in Croatia
Turnaround times are slower
Croatian authorities prefer translations certified by a Croatian sudski tumač

By working directly with a translator in Croatia, you benefit from:

✅ Lower costs compared to Australian agencies
✅ Fast and efficient service — often same-day delivery for standard documents
✅ Simple process:
1. Send a scanned copy of your apostilled documents by email
2. Receive the scanned certified translation by email for immediate use
3. Get the original certified translation delivered to you by post

Common documents Australians need translated for Croatian citizenship

Birth certificates
Marriage certificates
Police clearance certificates
Death certificates (for inheritance cases)
