Who runs the Croatian Embassy?

Consular services

Requests the consular staff deal with:

• Croatian passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents

• Help for citizens in difficulty – illness, arrest or loss of documents
