obrasci

Obrasci is a term used in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian to refer to forms or templates used for collecting information or providing standard responses in administrative and organizational contexts. The singular form is obrazac, meaning a single form such as a tax form (porezni obrazac), a registration form (obrazac za registraciju), or an employment application form (obrazac za prijavu). The plural obrasci refers to multiple forms or to templates in general. The word is widely used in government, business, education, and digital services, where forms are provided in printed, online, or fillable formats.

In typical use, obrasci include fields for personal data, identification, contact information, and predefined questions. They are often standardized to ensure consistent data collection and efficient processing. In English translations, obrasci are commonly rendered as "forms" or "templates," depending on the context. Digital versions may appear as online forms or fillable PDFs, sometimes with instructions in multiple languages.

Geographically, the term is especially common in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, and it is also recognized in neighboring regions where South Slavic languages share similar terminology. While obrazac and obrasci are the standard terms, local variations or synonyms can appear in official documents, depending on the institution or jurisdiction.
