Croatia runs more than one programme, and which one you belong in depends on your line. Pick Croatia, answer questions about your family, and get an honest read. Free, no account, no card.
Citizenship by Descent (Article 11)
For direct descendants, without a generation cap, of a qualifying Croatian emigrant under Article 11.
These are the routes the programme itself records, with the figures it records against each. Nothing here is our estimate.
Citizenship by Ethnicity (Article 16)
A separate ethnicity and affinity route for applicants who can evidence belonging to the Croatian people.
These are the routes the programme itself records, with the figures it records against each. Nothing here is our estimate.
Most people find out the real problem isn’t the bloodline.
Every Croatia case gets a document list built from that family's actual line. A marriage certificate appears only where a name actually changes; a death certificate only where the programme asks for one.
If your case doesn’t need it, you never see it. Which of these lists is yours depends on which programme your line puts you in — the free check settles that first.
Your anchor ancestor’s records serve every relative applying on the same line. Family members see status. They never see the document.
Our fee is $100 a person. Everything else goes to a government or a records office, at cost, never marked up.
$100 per person, one time. Whole dollars, no subscription.
Every fee shown is a published government figure for exactly what it names, not an estimate. Record costs vary by office and are charged at cost.
If you're thinking about actually going, our sister platform covers what it costs to live in Croatia, how residency works, and what the tax picture looks like.
A Croatia passport doesn’t require you to move. But if moving is the point, it’s worth knowing the numbers before you start a long paperwork process.
Families frequently qualify for more than one country. The free check shows every path, so you can choose on the merits rather than on the one you happened to think of.
