After the payment is made, Hitro.hr office will complete your case and forward it to the competent Commercial Court electronically (e-Tvrtka) or submit paper documentation if the conditions for electronic submission are not fulfilled. If the documentation submitted electronically is correct and complete, the Commercial Court will register the company in the court register within 24 hours and electronically submit to the Hitro.hr office a decision on establishment and a certificate of OIB of the newly established company.

If paper documentation is submitted to the Commercial Court, the deadline for registration of the company into court register is 5 days and the decision on the establishment and the certificate of OIB by Hitro.hr office can be taken in paper form at the Commercial Court.
