In the Republic of Croatia, three laws related to civil registration are pertinent: These are the Law on Permanent and Temporary Residents of Citizens, the Law on the Identity Card, and the Law on Travel Documents of Croatian Citizens.[40] Under the Residence law, citizens are obliged to register any change of address (Art. 6); and under the ID Card (Art. 5) and Travel Document (Art. 39) laws these documents become invalid if a citizen’s personal data have changed.
