In 1924, the bureau was renamed to theStatistical Office inZagreb (Statistički ured u Zagrebu). In 1929, after royal monarchy was proclaimed in theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the bureau lost its financial and technical independence.

In 1951 it was renamed to theBureau of Statistics and Evidence, in 1956 to theBureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of Croatia and in 1963 to theRepublican Bureau for Statistics of the Socialist Republic of Croatia.
