SR Croatia issued identity cards during the time of SFR Yugoslavia since 1974.

In addition to all data on the 2003 version, the back side of the new ID card also features the personal identification number (OIB).

This change is followed with new Certilia application that enables citizens to use the new eID to sign electronic documents with digital signature.

Failure to show a valid ID to a police officer in a public place can result in a fine of 20 euro.

[citation needed] Today, the card is a valid travel document in almost all of Europe (except Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom) as well as in Georgia, French overseas territories and organized tours to Tunisia.
