How members of the Croatian people can apply for Croatian citizenship (Article 16): Guide for 2023
UPDATED: 24.5.2023.
If you have Croatian heritage, then you may be able to apply for Croatian citizenship, depending on your situation.
There are many paths to Croatian citizenship for those with Croatian heritage. Before we go any further, we’ll go over each path quickly to get you on the right track for your situation.
- Article 5 – Application for citizenship by origin
- Article 11 – Application for citizenship by descent – view guide here
- Article 16 – Application for citizenship based on being a member of the Croatian people – you’re in the right place, so keep reading
Since technically anyone with Croatian lineage can be considered a “member of the Croatian people”, it’s important that we clarify what this means in terms of Article 16.
In most cases, people apply for citizenship through Article 11 (Croatian citizenship by descent). This allows you to apply through your parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, and so on, as long as you can prove your connection and that they were born on the modern territory of Croatia and permanently moved abroad.
However, in some cases, people cannot apply for citizenship under Article 5 or 11 due to some kind of technicality.
Some example technicalities:
- Your ancestor left Croatia after 1991 (negates Article 11)
- Your ancestor left Croatia but then returned to live in Croatia permanently (negates Article 11)
- Your ancestor left Croatia to move to another country within the former Yugoslavia (negates Article 11)
- You lack the documentation to make a proper case under Article 5 or 11
If you cannot register under Article 5 or apply under Article 11, or if you already applied and were denied under those articles, then Article 16 may be a good solution for you.
There are other isolated cases where people do not have Croatian lineage but do consider themselves to be a member of the Croatian people. In this case, Article 16 is also a good choice.
An Article 16 claim does take work, gets harder to prove as time passes, and has no guarantees. But this is Croatia, and there are no guarantees with anything.
In this post, we cover:
- What you need to know
- Citizenship Act Article 16
- How to apply for citizenship
- What after granting citizenship
- How to get help when applying
The facts are these…
How to get Croatian citizenship if you are a member of the Croatian people (Article 16)
What you need to know before getting started
Many members of the Croatian people somehow want to reconnect with Croatia. A possible option is to get residence in Croatia based on being a member of the Croatian people. If you want to apply for temporary residence on this basis, view our guide here.
On the other hand, some want to accomplish their reconnection by granting Croatian citizenship. Applying for Croatian citizenship based on belonging to Croatian people belongs to the lineage category called prirođenje.
Zakon o hrvatskom državljanstvu (Croatian citizenship act) prescribes the rights and regulations on acquiring and terminating Croatian citizenship, including applying for citizenship based on being a member of the Croatian people.

In Croatia, MUP manages the application processes for obtaining Croatian citizenship. MUP is abbreviated from Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova (Croatian Ministry of the Interior). You can read about Croatian ministries here.
However, Središnji državni ured za Hrvate izvan Republike Hrvatske (Croatian Central State Office for Croats Abroad) is responsible for some other assignments related to members of the Croatian people. For example, they approve certificates of belonging to Croatian people called Potvrda o pripadnosti hrvatskom narodu.
Learn more about the Croatian Central State Office for Croats Abroad and their scope of work in this article.
Members of the Croatian people must meet the requirements defined by the law to apply for Croatian citizenship. If they do not meet the mandatory requirements, their application will be denied by MUP.
To avoid the obstacles that could arise when applying for Croatian citizenship, it is best to hire a professional. We can connect you with an expat-vetted lawyer that specializes in Article 16 applications. To get an introduction, click here. To learn how we vet our lawyers, click here.
Croatian citizenship act – Article 16
When applying for Croatian citizenship, you must first define the article from the Croatian citizenship act under which you apply.
In this post, we are focusing on Article 16 – Member of the Croatian people.
Member of the Croatian people translates as pripadnik hrvatskog naroda in the Croatian language.
The Croatian citizenship act states the following:
Članak 16. (NN 102/19)
Pripadnik hrvatskog naroda koji nema prebivalište u Republici Hrvatskoj, može steći hrvatsko državljanstvo ako udovoljava pretpostavkama iz članka 8. stavka 1. točke 5. ovoga Zakona.
Pripadnost hrvatskom narodu utvrđuje se ranijim deklariranjem te pripadnosti u pravnom prometu, navođenjem te pripadnosti u pojedinim javnim ispravama, zaštitom prava i promicanjem interesa hrvatskog naroda i aktivnim sudjelovanjem u hrvatskim kulturnim, znanstvenim i sportskim udrugama u inozemstvu.
Iznimno od stavka 2. ovoga članka, dokaze o pripadnosti hrvatskom narodu ne mora priložiti osoba za čije je roditelje nesporno utvrđena pripadnost hrvatskom narodu.
Which translates as:
Article 16 (Official Gazette 102/19)
A member of the Croatian nation who does not have a residence in the Republic of Croatia may acquire Croatian citizenship if they meet the requirements of Article 8, Paragraph 1, Point 5 of this Act.
Belonging to the Croatian nation is established by earlier declaration of that affiliation in legal transactions, stating that affiliation in certain public documents, protecting the rights and promoting the interests of the Croatian people, and active participation in Croatian cultural, scientific, and sports associations abroad.
As an exception to paragraph 2 of this article, evidence of belonging to the Croatian nation does not have to be submitted by a person whose parents have been undisputedly established as belonging to the Croatian nation.
Article 8., Paragraph 1, Point 5 of the act says:
Članak 8. (NN 102/19)
Prirođenjem može steći hrvatsko državljanstvo stranac koji je podnio zahtjev za primanje u hrvatsko državljanstvo ako udovoljava ovim pretpostavkama:
- da poštuje pravni poredak Republike Hrvatske, da je podmirio dospjela javna davanja te da ne postoje sigurnosne zapreke za njegov primitak u hrvatsko državljanstvo.
Which translates as:
Article 8 (Official Gazette 102/19)
A foreigner who has applied for Croatian citizenship can acquire Croatian citizenship by naturalization if they meet the following conditions:
- that they respect the legal order of the Republic of Croatia, that they have settled the due public duties and that there are no security obstacles for their admission to Croatian citizenship.
Another rule is defined in Article 30 of the law. It says that a member of the Croatian people without Croatian citizenship but with registered residence in Croatia on the day of the law’s entry into force is considered a Croatian citizen if they state in writing that they consider themselves a Croatian citizen.
The Croatian citizenship act is available here. You can also download the Croatian citizenship act in the English language here.
How to apply for Croatian citizenship as a member of the Croatian people
Let’s now move through all the steps of applying for Croatian citizenship based on being a member of the Croatian people.
Step #1 Confirm your claim
Before submitting the citizenship application, be sure that you meet all the requirements to acquire Croatian citizenship as a member of the Croatian people. You can learn about the essential things to know before applying for Croatian citizenship in this article.
The process of granting Croatian citizenship can last for months and sometimes years, so our recommendation is to be as prepared as possible.
If you are unsure if you qualify, we can help! Just fill out this short form to get assistance.
Step #2 Prepare your application
The preparation of your citizenship application is demanding. You must collect a bunch of documents which can take a while to obtain.
Here is the documentation you must provide:
- Completed application form – one of these, depending on your case:
- Biography including your reasons for applying and connection to Croatia, written in Croatian
- Your birth certificate, legalized/apostilled, officially translated
- Marriage certificate, if you are married, legalized/apostilled, officially translated
- Notarized proof of citizenship such as:
- Copy of a passport
- Copy of an ID card
- Copy of domovnica equivalent
- Background check issued by your country of citizenship proving you have not been criminally prosecuted, not older than 6 months – view a guide here
- Copy of identity document with a visible photo – officially translated if not in English
- Proof of your previous declaration of citizenship in legal transactions – an original or a certified copy of:
- Employment record
- Military record
- Diploma
- Student’s course and grade book
- Extract from the birth register
- Extract from the marriage register, etc.
Other proof of belonging to the Croatian people includes providing proof of protecting the rights and promoting the interests of the Croatian people, as well as proof of active participation in Croatian cultural, science, and sports organizations outside of Croatia.
If your parents or other ancestor belong to the Croatian people, you may also enclose proof of their declaration of citizenship.
This may include:
- Birth certificate of your Croatian ancestor
- Birth certificates of your relatives that connect you to this ancestor, if any
- Family tree
- Anything else that shows your relative’s life in Croatia
For underage children, you must also provide:
- Birth certificate
- Proof of citizenship
- Written consent of the other parent
Article 16 is less straightforward than others and is typically customized to a person’s individual case. While the above documents are suggestions, ultimately, the paperwork you provide will depend on your particular situation.
Be aware that the documents issued by foreign governments outside Croatia must be originals. In addition, they must be apostilled/legalized and officially translated into Croatian unless bilateral and multilateral international agreements define other rules.
[Read: How to prepare your foreign documents for use in Croatia]
Collecting the required documents may take a while. If you need help preparing your application, our expat-vetted immigration lawyers, who specialize in citizenship, can help you. They can ensure your application is correct and complete, which increases your chances of approval.
Step #3 Submit your application
Once you are sure you’ve collected all the required documents, you can submit your Croatian citizenship application. You have to apply in person. If you are a person with disabilities, a legal representative or authorized proxy can submit the application on your behalf.
Where you must submit your application depends on the place of your current residence. If you live in Croatia, you must apply at the MUP office closest to your current residence called prebivalište).
[Read: How to find administrative police stations in Croatia]
If you live abroad, you must apply at a Croatian embassy or consulate outside of Croatia closest to your foreign residence. View a list of Croatian consulates and embassies outside of Croatia here.
Step #4 Wait for MUP’s answer
Now, it is time to sit on the couch and wait. If your application is complete, the government shall hopefully process it efficiently. However, the process is complicated and can last two or more years.
On the other side, if the ministry comes across some obstacles or your application is incomplete, they may request additional documentation from you. This is why we constantly repeat the importance of collecting all the required documentation at the beginning.
[Read: All the Croatian government ministries and what they do]
Step #5 Receive MUP’s decision
If MUP approves your citizenship application and you are granted Croatian citizenship, they will send you a document called Rješenje o primitku u hrvatsko državljanstvo (Decision on the admission to Croatian citizenship). You are a legal Croatian citizen from the day they deliver your decision.
If your application is denied, MUP will send you a negative decision. You can submit a complaint to the administrative court if you have justified reasons. The deadline is 30 days upon the receipt of the negative decision.
There is an administrative fee for both positive and negative decisions. All possible administrative costs for this procedure are available here. Payment information is available here.
Step #6 Take solemn oath
People being granted Croatian citizenship must take svečana prisega (solemn oath). MUP will inform you about the time and procedure.
During the solemn oath, you have to say:
Prisežem svojom čašću da ću se kao hrvatski državljanin/državljanka pridržavati Ustava i zakona te poštivati pravni poredak, kulturu i običaje u Republici Hrvatskoj.
Which translates to:
I swear by my honor that as a Croatian citizen, I will abide by the Constitution and the law and respect the legal order, culture, and customs in the Republic of Croatia.
What are the next steps after granting Croatian citizenship?
After being granted Croatian citizenship, you can apply for Croatian documents in the following order:
- Domovnica (proof of citizenship) – view guide
- Rodni list (birth certificate) – view guide
- Putovnica (passport) – view guide
- Osobna iskaznica (ID card) – view guide
Croatian citizenship can be proven with:
- Croatian ID card
- Croatian passport
- Military ID card
- Domovnica

On short notice I accepted a work trip to Europe and decided to stop in Zagreb prior to my job in Paris. Having obtained citizenship approval the purpose of this trip was to file birth records and my marriage record as well as obtaining domovnicas for my family and to apply for my passport. Filip coordinated everything on very short notice, including vetting our documents and coordinating a new translation due to a copy and pasting error within 3 hours. Ines met me and obtained the domovnicas for my family on my behalf. The registrar wished to have another document to complete registering my marriage and my wife and my birth certificates but Filip has told me exactly what to get. Finally Filip accompanied me to the MUP to file for my first passport. He guided me through the process and, unbelievably, I had my first Croatian Passport in my hands three hours later (not exaggerating)! These are the second group of professionals Expat in Croatia has referred me to, and again my expectations were exceeded. Thank you so much Filip and Ines for your attention to detail, guidance, timeliness, and professionalism all on short notice. The remainder of my family will be using your services once they receive their decisions as well. Thank you!

Expat in Croatia linked me up to Filip in Zagreb, who helped me from beginning to end of my applications for Croatian citizenship by descent. (My wife also applied by marriage.) Filip gave very helpful guidance on the process speaking broadly, as well as concrete revisions to our application documents for filing, review of my family history documents, and arrangement of translation and apostilling. All that, quickly and efficiently. Filip was generally available for questions on the go, including as we left our citizenship interview. I am also a lawyer, so speaking personally, it was a good experience to see such professionalism from another lawyer in a jurisdiction where I would be completely on my own otherwise.

My husband and I met consulted with Expat in Croatia in order to learn about obtaining Croatian citizenship. We met with Sara Dyson initially and she was able to answer all of our general questions with regard to citizenship. She also put us in contact with our attorney, Ines, in order to begin the application process. I was very pleased with Sara’s expertise on the matter. Our attorney, Ines, was very thorough and professional. She clearly explained the process step by step and answered all of our questions and concerns throughout the entire process. Our appointment with the Chicago consulate went very smoothly and it was all thanks to Ines’ hard work! We couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and I would recommend Expat in Croatia and their professionals to anyone looking into Croatian citizenship.

I really did not know where to start but Expat Croatia (Sara) introduced me to Antonela (Immigration lawyer) and she is the best. The citizenship process can be a bit daunting but having someone in Croatia to help is so necessary. I also feel that Antonela and Mia provide a service that is great value for what they charge. My advice to anyone who is applying for citizenship is to be diligent and patient. We were able to find all the necessary paperwork and I did secure Croatian citizenship for myself, my wife and our three children. (My grandmother was born in Croatia). The citizenship process took just over 2 years. We are now working on getting our Croatian passports which of course while a straightforward process, does take several months.

We reached out to Expat in Croatia for assistance in finding a lawyer to help us with our application for citizenship by descent, and their recommendation of Antonela S. was a perfect match! We were dealing with gathering documents from three different countries and submitting our applications in a fourth, so we needed all the expertise (and hand-holding) we could get. Antonela and her staff, particularly Mia, were very responsive considering all of our correspondence was via email and across several time zones. We recently submitted our applications and the consular officer who reviewed our documents remarked that everything was well-organized and complete. Aside from our satisfaction with EIC’s professional recommendation, we have found this site to be a wonderful resource for so many aspects of Croatian life and culture!

I needed support with an application for Croatian citizenship by descent and found Expat in Croatia through their comprehensive article on the subject. They answered my questions and introduced me to Ivan R. Let me be clear that Ivan exceeded all my expectations on knowledge, conscientiousness, patience, and support during this process. From the very first meeting it was clear that he is very familiar and thorough with these applications. Unexpectedly, finding evidence documents for my application was much more complicated than either of us had anticipated, but Ivan was there every step of the way until we finally pieced the puzzle together. I submitted my application yesterday and they said it was perfect. I am immensely grateful for Ivan’s help and I highly recommend Ivan and Expat in Croatia to others hoping to navigate this process with minimal delays. Thank you.

The Expat in Croatia newsletter has been an indispensable guide for us while waiting to acquire Croatian citizenship. Since receiving citizenship this month, we decided to book a consultation to address more specific questions as we move closer to actually moving to Croatia. We chose CAM (Carol Anne) to be our consultant and found her to be the perfect “fit” for us. She has experienced everything that we will be dealing with as she moved from Canada to Croatia. Whether it is information about shipping items, registering a car, health insurance, or getting a tax consultant to navigate important financial details, she provided everything and more. We found her to be thorough, professional, personable, and smart. She is also funny and charming. We love CAM! We will continue to use this resource, consulting with CAM as needed or as more questions arise.

EIC has a Wonderful team of professionals to help guide us through our process of obtaining Croatian citizenship by descent. We had initial consultation with Sara, and then one of the attorneys, Andrea. Although we are gathering our documents on our own, we will be hiring them to oversee the process and help us with requirements we are unable to complete on our own during and after our applications are submitted . We would highly recommend Expat in Croatia !

We needed assistance with purchasing property and moving forward with applying for Croatian citizenship. We had a great conversation with Sara and CAM, they explained both processes clearly and provides us with numerous resources. They have also facilitated contact with a Croatian lawyer to work with us on both processes. It has been helpful to understand timelines and requirements, and they have provided contact with professionals that can be responsible for the aspects that we cannot do on our own.

There was a 6 month wait at the consulate to get an appointment to submit my application, in addition to the time it takes to actually process the application, so this can be a lengthy process. With that in mind, I feel confident my application is without error – thanks to Expat In Croatia and their legal network. They really took the uncertainty out of the process, and demonstrated the highest level of professionalism from start to finish, which included locating a 19th century birth certificate. In addition to this, their website is probably the most comprehensive resource on the internet. Expat In Croatia will make a genuine effort to help you, and they know what they’re doing.

My husband and I met with Sara to discuss our options regarding moving to Croatia. My husband is of Croatian descent but we were unsure of what we would need to present and to who, once we arrived in Croatia. Sara, through her expansive knowledge, was able to direct us to the correct experts and offer alternatives. She made navigating the Croatian immigration process much easier. Sara and her team are exceptional. I cannot recommend them enough; I look forward to continued correspondence with her as we continue through the process.

My experience to date with Expat in Croatia has been terrific. The website contains a wealth of information which is vetted and updated regularly. After reviewing the website, I scheduled a consultation with Sara Dyson to discuss the process of obtaining citizenship by descent for myself and my siblings. In less than an hour Sara provided a comprehensive, detailed explanation of the process. She answered all my questions about housing, healthcare, and life in Croatia; and the references provided in a follow-up email were extremely helpful. I am especially impressed with the service they offer matching people applying for citizenship with Croatian lawyers who can assist them. It’s not a simple handoff; an Expat in Croatia representative remains engaged through the entire process and acts as a liaison between the client and the attorney. We will definitely be taking advantage of that service as we pursue our dream of obtaining Croatian citizenship. I look forward to working with Sara, Carol Anne and the entire Expat in Croatia team.

My brothers and I reached out to Expat in Croatia, knowing nothing about the process or if we were even eligible to apply for citizenship. We worked with Steve, who determined that were eligible and connected us with Ines, our Croatian attorney. Ines was incredibly helpful throughout the process, answering all of our questions and helping to guide all 7 of us to get the paperwork needed to submit. The process took some time, but that mostly was on the end of the United States documentation needed, as we had to jump through a lot of hoops with various states to get the paperwork needed (especially in the State of NY, where we had to effectively sue to release our ancestral records). Once we had everything assembled (a Herculean effort as we dealt with records from 6 different states, including NY, which was tough!), we made our appointment with the consulate in Chicago and the consulate employee was also very helpful. Our meeting lasted about an hour, as she went through all of our documents and made sure we had everything we needed. We had everything we needed and even some additional documentation that was recommended and drafted by Ines. The Consulate even mentioned that it was a VERY good idea to work with an attorney for this, as it will help the process go even smoother. I cannot say enough good things about Expat in Croatia and Ines. Without them, we never would have been able to get this done! And now we wait for a few years for our approvals 🙂

I am very grateful for Sara and the EIC team! I stumbled across Sara & EIC a few years ago and have acquired so much useful and interesting information through them. Sara and team are so friendly, professional and passionate with everything Croatia! I had a consulting session with Sara a few weeks ago, and it was very helpful. I’m so excited to hear where the team and services are heading. They offer so many invaluable services. I am also trying to achieve dual citizenship through lineage (both grandparents born in Croatia) and worked with one of their vetted professional lawyers, Ines, through the process. Ines is also wonderful. It’s so reassuring to know that if I am able to get to Croatia, there are people to help support me and show me the ropes. Thank you Sara & Team!

We worked with Ines. Before contacting her, we had collected all the supporting documents ourselves – birth certificates, family tree, evidence of emigration, etc. – and had these ready when we had our initial consultation. At the consultation, Ines laid out the citizenship application process for us in detail. She answered all of our questions then, and also throughout the process. Ines was an indispensable help to us, especially since we were applying in Montenegro as temporary residents of that country. She handled the translations of all our documents, helped us with our applications and CVs, kept everything in order and on track, and communicated with several officials, both Croatian and Montenegrin on our behalf when English wasn’t their first language. Having Ines in our corner made the process run smoothly. We were glad that we had her expertise behind us.
