Please review the formal requirements that the documents must meet.

You can fill in the form for notification of changes online. Then print out the filled-in form and sign it.

You can also download a blank form, print it out and fill it in by hand, or you can collect the form free of charge at one of the offices of the Ministry of the Interior. The form must be filled in legibly, in block capitals and in Latin characters.

For procedural reasons, you must always go to a Ministry of the Interior office personally. So, you can report the change in person and it will be made right away (you will receive a new visa). In this case, please make an appointment online or by phone beforehand. If the offered appointment slot is after your time limit for notification of the change expires, send the form by post, Data Box or by e-mail with an advanced electronic signature, or visit a Ministry of the Interior office during opening hours without an appointment. With no appointment reservation, you have to wait your turn. If you fail to report the change within the time limit, you can be fined.

If you report the change by post, never send your original travel document – only attach a copy. When reporting a change by post, it usually takes several days to process the filing. After registering the change, the Ministry employees will prompt you by phone or in writing to come to receive the visa in your travel document. If you are not prompted within 30 days, call the hotline. The hotline employees will check if the change has been made and will schedule an appointment for you to come and receive the visa in your new travel document.
