Croatian is one of the fastest-growing languages in Ireland, and with growth comes paperwork: izvadci from the matični ured, državna matura results, nursing licences and court rulings. Our native Croatian translators work from documents issued in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, keeping č, ć, đ, š and ž distinct. You receive a signed Certificate of Accuracy with our stamp and reference number. €29.95 per page, with most orders returned within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 12,247 people speaking Croatian at home, compared with 5,176 in 2016, an increase of 137% that CSO highlighted as one of the sharpest of any language. Dublin City has the largest group, closely followed by Cork, then Fingal, South Dublin, Kildare and Louth. Because so many arrived recently, our Croatian work centres on first steps: professional registration, school and college applications, weddings and, increasingly, citizenship.

Izvadak iz matice rođenih
Croatian registry offices issue an izvadak from the birth register, often called the rodni list. Documents from Bosnia and Herzegovina use the term izvod iz matične knjige rođenih. We translate both formats.
Izvadak iz matice vjenčanih
We translate the spouses’ details, the surnames chosen at marriage and the place of the ceremony, whether civil or a church wedding with civil effect entered in the register.
Presuda o razvodu braka
Croatian divorce judgments carry a stamp confirming they are final (pravomoćna). We translate the ruling, that stamp and any arrangements for children, which Irish registrars and courts may both ask to see.
Uvjerenje o nekažnjavanju
Issued by the Ministry of Justice, including as an electronic certificate via e-Građani. We translate it with its verification details for employers, the Teaching Council or other registration bodies.
Svjedodžba o državnoj maturi
We translate the State Matura certificate with each subject, the basic (osnovna) or higher (viša) level and the grades, together with the final school report if the CAO or a college needs it.
Diploma i dopunska isprava o studiju
Croatian degrees come with a dopunska isprava listing ECTS credits and grades. We translate both, plus titles such as mag. ing. or univ. bacc., so QQI can place the award correctly.
Osobna iskaznica
We translate the Croatian identity card, keeping the OIB (personal identification number) exactly, for banks, landlords or Irish bodies that ask for a translated ID alongside your passport.
Odobrenje za samostalan rad
Croatian nurses hold a licence for independent practice from the nursing chamber. We translate it with your diploma and hours of training so NMBI has the full set in English.

Students with a Croatian State Matura apply to Irish universities through the CAO, which describes an official translation as one carried out by a professional translation service provider.
Getting married here starts with three months’ notice to the Civil Registration Service. A Croatian partner brings an izvadak iz matice rođenih and, where relevant, a translated final divorce judgment.
As the community settles, more Croatians apply for naturalisation. ISD asks that foreign-language civil documents be translated by a professional translator, with a copy of the original enclosed.
Electricians, carpenters and other tradespeople often need a translated trade certificate or work record (e-radna knjižica) from HZMO so an Irish employer or recognition body can assess their experience.
QQI NARIC compares Croatian degrees with Irish levels. It asks for official translations of the diploma and the dopunska isprava o studiju, which we translate together.
