Signing up for permanent residence

• Electronically - here

You can find all electronic services related to this topic here (only in Slovak).

You can report permanent residence:

• for yourself;

• for a child under 18 years;
• for a child under 18 years of age with an ordered institutional or protective upbringing;
• for a citizen who is deprived of legal capacity or whose legal capacity is limited;
• for another citizen.

A citizen can register permanent residence only in the building or its part, which is marked with a census number, or a census and reference number and is intended for housing, accommodation or individual recreation. An apartment is also considered a part of the building.
