The registration certificate (prometna dozvola) and the vehicle booklet (knjižica vozila)
Croatia issues the prometna dozvola, the traffic license carried in the vehicle, and historically a knjižica vozila, a vehicle booklet holding the technical data and the ownership record.
The booklet was phased out for new registrations, so a newer car has only the license. Both arrangements are correct for their date and we say which the file holds.
The annual registration, and the sticker
Croatian registration is renewed annually together with the technical inspection and compulsory insurance, and the license carries the validity date.
An expired license is not evidence that the car is unowned, only that the annual renewal lapsed. That distinction matters in an estate or an import file and we state it.
The transfer, and the tax
A used vehicle sale between individuals attracts a transfer tax payable by the buyer, and the transfer is filed at a police administration or an authorised station within a short deadline.
The tax receipt is part of the file. We translate it with the license.
The OIB, and the plates
Owners are identified by OIB, eleven digits used for people and companies alike.
Croatian plates carry a two-letter city code and the Croatian chequy emblem, and the code changes if the owner moves city. See our Croatian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
