About the Croatian language.
Croatian is the official language of Croatia, an official language of the European Union, and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is written in the Latin alphabet, with letters such as č, ć, đ, š and ž.
The three are closely related, but Croatian has its own standard spelling and vocabulary, including many words that differ from Serbian. Documents from Croatia are translated in the Croatian standard. Letters such as ć and č are different sounds and matter in names. We keep them exactly as they appear on the identity document. Croatian documents issued for use in the EU follow EU formats and terminology.
Croatian to English is usually personal, civil, academic and company documents. English to Croatian is usually business, tourism and marketing content.
Common Croatian documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
