The Croatian language is spoken by over 5-7 million people, of which about four million live in Croatia itself. Native speakers also live in other Balkan countries such as Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo. In addition, there are smaller speaker groups in Austria, Hungary, and Italy as well, with Austrian Burgenland Croatian being a recognized minority language with over 50,000 speakers.

Like Bosnian, Montenegrin, and Serbian, Standard Croatian builds on the Štokavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian. However, whether Croatian is really a language of its own or a dialect is more a political than a linguistic question, which, according to Max Weinreich, can be answered with the sentence “A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.” However, Croatian also has Čakavian dialects in the north of the country and Kajkavian dialects mainly on the Adriatic coast. And unlike Bosnian or Serbian, for example, Croatian is written exclusively in Latin script.

Depending on the region, influences of different languages can be found in Croatian. The coastal regions and the northwest of the country are more influenced by Italian, as some parts of the country have time and again belonged to Italian states. In the north, on the other hand, the influence of German and Hungarian is more noticeable. And in the southeast of the country, which was under Ottoman rule for a time, Oriental traces can still be found in the language.

We offer the following services for Croatian:

Certified translation of Croatian documents

You grew up in Croatia and now you want to live and work in Germany or vice versa? For occasions such as marriage, naturalization, application for parental allowance, studies, pension and many others, the authorities request a certified translation of your documents.

We will help you with the translation!

  • Originals are usually not required for the issuance of a certified translation, but you must be able to present them to authorities upon request.
  • Translations of documents are provided including certification by a translator sworn-in by a court in Germany.
  • Our translations for Croatian are recognized by all German authorities and offices.
  • We will send your translation by mail to the address of your choice in Germany.
  • Commission us online to translate your Croatian documents and process your orders electronically.
  • We can provide you with a digital copy in advance upon request.

A Statement of Comparability is an official document issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen – ZAB). It assesses international higher education qualifications and ascertains the professional and academic legitimacy of candidates. This is intended to facilitate access to the German labor market and enable students to continue their studies in Germany. It is a comparative classification, but not a recognition.

For further details on the process of recognizing equivalency and the evaluation of your diplomas, please visit the official website of the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen) of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (Kultusministerkonferenz – KMK).

You can check the evaluation of your certificates and degrees in advance in the Anabin database.

You can also check the value of your foreign university qualification and research further information.

Information about degrees with university admission can also be found in Anabin. You can check under which conditions you can take up an undergraduate course of study in Germany with a foreign secondary qualification.

Depending on the federal state, other recognition and advisory offices are responsible for recognizing the equivalence of your degrees, certificates or diplomas from Croatia. On Anabin you can find information not only about relevant authorities, but also about advisory bodies without direct recognition competence. They can provide you with information on numerous issues relating to recognition in Germany.

An apostille is an additional confirmation of authenticity of a foreign document. The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille Convention) is in effect between Germany and Croatia. Here, an apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and, if applicable, the seal of the signatory, as well as their authority to issue the document.

The authorities of the country in which the document was issued are responsible for issuing them, i.e. German authorities for German documents and Croatian authorities for Croatian documents. An apostille consists of a fixed text and is affixed to the document itself or to a sheet attached to it. The Hague Convention does not apply to documents issued by diplomatic or consular representatives, nor to documents relating directly to commercial transactions or customs procedures.

In Croatia, apostilles are issued directly by the corresponding local courts; the Embassy in Zagreb is not involved in this process. For an apostille in relation to German documents, contact the authority responsible for you directly.
