Croatian employers increasingly hire workers from non-EU countries. Depending on the case, the procedure for a residence and work permit may require documents issued in the worker's home country – for example proof of qualifications or a criminal record certificate – with an apostille or legalisation and a certified translation into Croatian.
For employers and recruitment agencies
- certified translations for larger groups of workers, with one contact person and consistent terminology
- languages of the most common countries of origin: Nepali, Hindi, Filipino, Bengali, Serbian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Albanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Arabic and English
- checking that the foreign document is properly certified before translation
- interpreters for interviews, training and occupational safety instructions
For workers and their families
We also translate documents for family reunification (birth and marriage certificates), diplomas and driving licences. The exact requirements are always set by the competent police administration or station, so we recommend confirming them before you order; we are happy to help with the checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Do you translate from Nepali and Hindi into Croatian?
Yes. For languages with few court interpreters in Croatia we can also work via English as a pivot language, where the institution accepts it. The quote states the exact method.
