Croatia's marriage documents!Complete information on marriage documents in Croatia for USA citizens Before planning your wedding in Croatia, you need some marriage documents and my advice would be that you first call the register office where you want to get married, and ask them which documents they will require from you/your partner. These offices are called 'Maticni Ured' and you can find than almost in every town in Croatia. Sometimes called a "Certificate of No Impediment" or a "Certificate of Nulla Osta" or simply a "Certificate of Freedom to Marry", is a declaration from your country of origin of your freedom to marry. Almost all countries require that a couple can provide such a certificate before they will issue a marriage license. There is information below on how to acquire such a certificate in your country. USA: Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry No standard 'Certificate of Freedom to Marry' document exists in the United States. You can however make a sworn affidavit testifying to your freedom to marry, which will be accepted in almost all countries. You can do this in one of three ways, depending both on your situation and on what is specified by the country where you will marry: • A sworn statement can be made before a consular official at the embassy or consular office (in the United States) of the country where you will marry. Note: We will specify in the civil weddings section in each country's information if only one of these methods only is acceptable, but in most cases either is accepted. In most cases it will be necessary for both parties to the marriage to attend when such a statement is being made. If an American citizen does not speak Croatian, he/she will have to obtain the services of a court appointed translator for the marriage ceremony.

There are a number of countries who will not accept this document and require instead that you get a letter or statement at the Canadian Embassy, in the country where you will marry, to the effect that there are no impediments.

If you are living overseas a certificate can be issued by the Embassy or Consulate in the country in which you live. Once issued, it needs to be sent the Legalization Office of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to be legalized. This can take 2-3 weeks.
