Criminal Record Extract

 

Applicants for long-term visas and residence permits older than 15 obligatorily submit a criminal record extract issued by the state of which they are citizens.

Diplomatic missions of the Czech Republic further request submission of a criminal record extract issued by a state where the applicant resided in the past 3 years for more than 6 months.

If a state does not issue such a document, the applicant can submit a solemn declaration instead.

The criminal record extract is required only from applicants older than 15.
