Who can submit the application?

1. The person getting registered (a person 18 and older)
2. Family members of the person being registered (such as children, grandparents, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, spouses, siblings and authorized representatives).

Warning: If somebody else is registering an adult, all the necessary forms have to have a legalised signature of the person being registered.

What documents are necessary for submitting the application?

1. British birth certificate translated into Czech either by:
   1. a court appointed translator (a round stamp with the Czech national symbol)
      or
   2. one of these translators/interpreters

Court-appointed translators, whose translations do not need any further verifications, are highlighted.

Note: If you are submitting a Birth Certificate not issued outside of the UK, it is necessary to check with the local authorities whether further verification is required (an apostille or super legalisation); the document must then be translated into Czech by a court appointed translator.

In case of insufficient certification of the translation from English to Czech, the translation will have to be verified again by the Consulate, for which a fee for every page will be required. The fee is in accordance with the current Consular charges. A certified translator must always do the translation; other types of translations are not accepted.

A list of translators/interpreters that have provided the consulate with their contact information can be found here. Court-appointed translators, whose translations do not need any further verifications, are highlighted.
