CroatiaWhat is Croatia's Personal Identification Number (OIB)?
Summary: The OIB number is Croatia's Personal Identification number. This article covers the documents needed to obtain your OIB, how to apply and special procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic for obtaining your OIB.
OIB is Croatia's Personal Identification number. This number is much like the American Social Security Number or NIN number in the UK. Normally, you would need to apply for an OIB number at the local offices of the tax administration. You would either get the OIB at that visit, or, the Tax Administration would contact you and tell you a exact day/time to come ot the local office to obtain your OIB.
Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you will need to scan the documents below and e-mail them to this e-mail address: [email protected]. The OIB Office will respond (within 8 days) and tell you when to come get your Personal Identification Number.
