why is it that when you need to get a permit or something, you need a birth certificate thats not older than 6 months? and if youre born overseas, that means you also need to get it translated and verified at your local javni biljeznik. youd think a birth certificate is for always. good to see that theyve started that anti corruption campaign worth a couple of million kunas...hahahhahahha what a joke. they as us to become whistle blowers... hahahahaha hahahahhahah bahahahhahha

It's because Croatian birth certificates are living documents and are amended reflect the changes in your life with regard to marriage, name changes etc. Consequently, they get out of date - hence the 6 months rule. Other countries just make a statement about where and when you were born and so never get seriously changed - but Croatia isn't one of them.

galant, are you suggesting you need a birth certificate of less than 6 months old to get an OIB number?

Got my OIB last week. Took me about an hour. Was in the queue at 07:00 and was being processed by 07:15. Took my passport, driving licence, letter from Croatian bank, and no problem at all. I am from the UK and let a property in Istria.

I am from the UK and let a property in Istria. Where did you go in Istria to get it? That would be really helpful. How did you start the ball rolling- did they send you a letter or did you just turn up. Thanks.

Now there is a tricky question.....I can only tell you from my perspective as I don't know the exact address.
I got mine in Porec. If you know the area around the town, towards Novigrad, on the coast road, is a Konzum. On the upper tier of the complex are some offices. If you go to the first floor of one of these (it had a big poster in the window about OIBs) you will hopefully find the staff to send you to the right queue.
I was tipped off by my local agent that I needed one so that I could "trade" legally and pay taxes on earnings.

Fabulous- steveb. Know where you mean- it's on the road that myself and Mambo were just discussing from Porec to Novigrad, then onto Umag. (The Istrian mob is out in force tonight. Istria is the best area by far!!!!!!).
Perfect timing as can sort it out soon What does the letter from the Cro bank have to say, simply that we have an account?? Sorry to be sooo dim, it's just that this is all so new.

All I had to produce was proof of ID (passport and driving licence, letter from the bank with the address of my property in Croatia, and address in UK)....It was simple. I did try to go the day before at 09:00 and left because the queue was so long. Returned at 07:00 the next day as I was flying out from Trieste that day and was sorted really quickly.

Hello!
About the birth certificates - I don't know if you know :-) and if it is the same in the UK, Germany, Norway, wherever... but Belgium and Croatia have an agreement that dates back to the 70s about "multiple languages" birth certificates, so they don't need to be translated.
It's the (efficient, yes!) civil servant in my hometown who told me about those.
Cheers!

you get OIB numbers from your local tax office (Ministry of Finance) . I just looked on the internet to see if there is a list of offices on the www.mfin.hr website but I couldn't find them. Just ask locally though everyone who lives in Croatia should know where itt is. Generally there is a clsuter of public buildings together and its there. In Kastela its above the police station in Sucurac.
