Travel Documents

Stolen identity cards or passports should be immediately reported to the competent foreign authority (e.g. the police).

Also, missing passports or identity cards should be reported in person to the Croatian embassy or consulate as soon as possible. The client is required to provide a written statement, in person, of all the circumstances surrounding the loss or theft of their identity card or passport (note: giving false statements is considered a criminal offence). Preferably, the person should submit the relevant certificate issued by the local police, showing that the document was reported to the competent local authorities as missing.

In case the passport and/or identity card that was previously declared invalid, is found, it may in no way be used, but rather taken to the embassy or consulate to be physically cancelled.

If the missing document was the only valid document, in addition to an appointment to report the lost/stolen document, it is necessary to make an appointment to issue a new passport, i.e. a laissez-passer.

If you wish to report a missing document, you can do so at the competent embassy or consulate of the Republic of Croatia in your country.
