Editing Criminal record (section)

==Croatia==
The Criminal Code of Croatia: The Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia "Narodne novine" entered into force on 1 January 1998.

Under Article 86, criminal record data may be given only to courts and state attorney's offices when a criminal case is brought against the person. Governmental bodies can access this data upon a reasonable request and must be related to specific tasks in [[public service]] to be entrusted to the person for whom such information is requested. The police can also gain access with the intention of discovering the perpetrator of a criminal act. Other members of the general public do not have the right to demand that citizens submit records concerning their convictions. A [[Citizenship|citizen]] retains the right to access data from their own criminal record, only under the condition that the purpose is to exercise his rights in another state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vsrh.hr/CustomPages/Static/HRV/Files/Legislation__Criminal-Code.pdf |title=Criminal Code |website=Vsrh.hr |access-date=7 August 2016}}</ref>

Certificates of criminal records are issued from the Department for Criminal Records. To be [[expunged]] of any conviction from one's criminal record, Article 19 of the Law on Legal Consequences of Conviction, Rehabilitation and Criminal Records (Official Gazette 143/12) needs to be referred to.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mprh.hr/mprh-en-information01|title=Information for citizens|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140115102545/http://www.mprh.hr/mprh-en-information01|publisher= Croatian Ministry Of Justice|archive-date=15 January 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
