Mandatory Age Verification for Wolt Orders in Croatia
Effective October 18, 2026, Wolt in Croatia will introduce mandatory age verification for all orders containing alcoholic beverages or energy drinks. This new requirement replaces the previous simple checkbox confirmation with a more robust system linked to the Croatian state's mGrađani digital services.
This change is driven by new legislation, aiming to enhance compliance with age restrictions. Wolt assures users that the verification process is quick and secure; the platform only receives a 'yes, 18+' confirmation without accessing any personal data from the mGrađani system.
For expats and relocants, accessing mGrađani requires prior registration with Croatian digital services. If you already use mGrađani, the transition should be seamless. However, those without existing access will need to register with the Croatian digital service infrastructure to continue ordering age-restricted items via Wolt after the deadline.
This update is not an isolated platform recommendation but a legal mandate affecting all Wolt users in Croatia. It also underscores a broader trend towards the mandatory use of local digital systems for everyday services across the country.
