Sabor adopts amendments to ID Card Act

Zagreb - The Croatian parliament on Wednesday amended the ID Card Act to make it possible for citizens to file requests for a new ID card or the extension of an existing one in any police station, regardless of their place of residence.

The changes will make it easier for citizens to obtain identity cards and will reduce the workload of those police stations where a large number of requests are filed.

Territorial jurisdiction was previously abolished for the issuance of passports and driver's licences, and has now been abolished for ID cards.

The Sabor today also amended the Act on Judicial Cooperation with EU Member States in Criminal Matters, and sent to second reading a bill on lobbying.
