Marriage Registration in Croatia

• This service is intended for couples, including at least one foreign national, who dream of having their wedding in Croatia. 
• It's particularly beneficial for those who require assistance navigating the Croatian legal system and understanding the specific documentation requirements.

The process of getting married in Croatia involves several steps and specific documentation, which may vary depending on the couple's citizenship and the local jurisdiction in Croatia. Key documents generally required include:

• Certificate of free marital status.
• Certificate of no impediment.
• Birth certificates with official Croatian translation and apostilled/legalised as necessary.
• For widows/divorcees, a Certificate or Absolute Decree is needed.
• Passport copies for both spouses.
• Identification documents, especially for EU/EEA nationals.

All documents must be recent, typically not older than three months from the wedding date. They must also be translated into Croatian and apostilled/legalised based on international treaties between Croatia and the home country.
