In case you lost or damaged or require additional copy of a vital statistics document, you may apply for a duplicate. Duplicates may be issued only if the relevant vital event had been previously registered in the Czech Republic. You can apply for your own vital statistics documents or for other persons' documents (in the latter case a family relationship or legal interest must be proved).
Before you start collecting the necessary documents, please read the general information.
