Our company Schmidt & Schmidt provides Extracts from the land register of Croatia with translation and Apostille.
Data on real estate in Croatia is stored together in two main systems: the Land book and the Cadastre. The Land Book is maintained by community (municipal) courts and falls under responsibility of the Ministry of Justice of Croatia. Tasks of the Land Book can be conditionally divided into information (informing citizens of real estate) and legal (confirmation of property and other rights of citizens).Officials maintaining the Land Book are guided by the principles of:
- registration (information entered in the register is deemed registered rights)
- publicity (information entered in the register is public)
- trust (protects rights of third-parties using the register)
- consent (information may be entered in registers only upon mutual consent of parties)
- legitimacy (a court determines whether all required procedures were implemented or not)
- priority (determines who has advantage during registration of rights)
- completeness (the entire legal situation around real estate is established)
- specificity (activities in the Land Book are special and independent)
- clarity (all data must be clear, and requirements – easily enforceable)
Land Book record consists of three sections:
- sheet А – section of evidence containing general data such as cadastral number, type, area and purpose of land
- sheet B – section of ownership containing such information as personal data of the owner of an object (full name, date of birth, identification number)
- sheet С – section of encumbrances containing information about arrests, mortgages, pledges etc.
The Land Book contains information about:
- right of ownership and other real rights
- rights to repurchase, purchase, leasing, concession advantage
- official relationships of owners
- other legal facts subject to registration in the Land Book

Apostilled extracts from Croatia
Croatia joined the Hague Convention on simplified legalization of documents on January 24, 1965, together with the rest of Yugoslavia. On April 5, 1993, Croatia announced its legal succession in regards to the Convention. Thus, documents issued in Croatia are subject to legalization based on the apostilling procedure, after certified translation such documents acquire full legal force on the territory of all other Hague Convention Member States. As a rule of thumb, apostillation of extracts takes about two weeks.| Service | Price incl. German VAT 19% | Price excl. VAT |
