Hi all! I'm Croatian and my fiance is a US citizen. We are getting married in Croatia - hopefully this year. We tried looking for an up-to-date Croatia thread but it appears to not have any posts since 2021.
We're confused about the "marriage affidavit" portion of the process described here, and were wondering if any of you can help us. He's coming over in July and will stay for ten days. Is it safe to assume we won't be able to get everything done in that time? The local civil registry office where we're planning on getting married at told us that the affidavit has to be additionally authenticated by the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
They also told us we have to jointly appear to register the intention to marry at the Registry Office, but we have to do it 30 days in advance.
We just want to be married already 😀 but understand that it's a process.
Thank you to anyone who can help us!
