I have never had my fingerprints taken for my American passport. For my Croatian passport, I had to go to the consulate in Los Angeles (halfway across the country for me) to get my identity verified and my fingerprints taken.
But, if you live in Croatia and the police already have your fingerprints from previous passports (along with you having an electronic ID card, which is standard and required), you can get a new passport quickly by applying online in the “e-gradani” or e-citizens service.
