Information about Czech citizenship and Czech vital records (birth, marriage or death certificates) are intended for Czech citizens and therefore can be found in the Czech section of our website.

All the related Czech laws and application forms are officially available in Czech language only.

In case you are interested in information about Czech citizenship or Czech vital records and you do not speak Czech, we recommend using some of the free web translators available online (eg. Google Translator). With the help of a free translator you will be able to get at least a basic understanding of the application procedures. In case you have any further questions, please, contact our Consulate by email at losangeles@embassy.mzv.cz
