How to obtain a police certificate

Slovak Republic

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes.

How and where do I obtain one?

If You Live in the Slovak Republic
You may obtain a Výpis z Registra Trestov in person or through an authorized representative from any office of the public prosecution or any municipality with register by submitting:

  • an application form;
  • an original identification card; and
  • a stamp-duty mark covering the processing fees.

Foreign nationals must also present their original passport and a certified translation of their birth certificate.

Online application instructions can be found at www.genpro.gov.sk.

Please consult the Slovak Republic website for the location of public prosecution offices.

If You Live Outside of the Slovak Republic
You should apply at the nearest Slovak embassy or consulate.
