Czech Criminal Record Check

You can request a Criminal Record Check in person at the consular section or send the application by post. To submit an  application in person, it is necessary to make an appointment in advance by sending an email request to Ottawa.Consulate@mzv.gov.cz. Please specify your name, surname and type of your application in your request (Criminal Record Check).

If you apply in person, you must submit the following:

  1. your valid ID
  2. your birth certificate
  3. filled out personal information form (DOC, 32 KB)
  4. administrative fee 

To apply via mail, you must submit the following:

  1. filled out application form (PDF, 238 KB), your signature on this form must be verified by the Czech Honorary Consulate
  2. regular copy of your ID
  3. regular copy of your birth certificate
  4. filled out personal information form (DOC, 32 KB)
  5. administrative fee
  6. two prepaid return envelopes with your return address (Xpresspost envelope is recommended).

Processing time:
For Czech citizens with the birth number if applied in person: while waiting
For foreign nationals who were assigned the birth number: approx. 3 business days
For other applicants: 1-3 weeks

If you need an apostille for a document, the application must be submitted in person at the consular section and then sent to the Czech Republic for processing. In this case, it is not possible to request the issuance of a statement through Czech POINT. The processing time is therefore approx. 2 months.

Notes:

The criminal record check is issued in the Czech language. It can be requested to be issued with an attachment - a multilingual form - a translation aid (in this case, specify one official language of the EU member state). The extra administrative fee is required for the issuance of the multilingual form (300 Kč).

Czech citizens may request at no additional cost a Czech criminal record check which includes a record history from another Member state of the European Union (that in which the applicant permanently resides/resided or of which the applicant is/was a citizen). Please indicate this request in the top right corner of the application form.
