---

Questions and answers

Is it necessary to prove with documents, when declaring a place of residence, that an individual is entitled to declare his or her place of residence at a specific address?
When submitting a place of residence declaration form, the legal basis of an individual to reside at the address indicated in the form must be presented. The individual does not need to present any other document, with the exception of a personal identification document. Additional documents will be needed, if a local government has reasonable doubts about authenticity of data provided and the local government has well-motivated the need of submission of additional documents.

Does an individual have the duty to indicate all addresses of places of residence in his or her place of residence declaration form?
An individual shall declare one address as his or her basic address of place of residence at which he or she can be reached in legal relations with the state and the local government. If an individual wishes so, he or she may indicate unlimited number of additional addresses in his or her place of residence declaration form.

In case, if an individual will give false declaration of his or her place of residence at address of another individual, will he or she be entitled to reside at such declared address?
An individual may declare only such address for place of residence where the individual has the legal basis to reside. Even if an individual has indicated false information in his or her place of residence declaration form, the fact of declaration itself shall not cause civil legal consequences and thus the individual is not entitled to reside at such declared address.

In case, if a local government has started checking the data given in a declaration form, must the data about declared place of residence annulled?
Data about declared place of residence shall be annulled, if a decision has been made on the basis of information obtained during such check that the individual has given false data in his or her place of residence declaration form or the person has no legal basis to reside at his or her declared place of residence.

When declaring place of residence by mail, must a copy of a personal identification document and a copy of a document certifying the legal basis be enclosed to the person’s filled in declaration application?

Must an individual address a local government with a request to annul data about the previous declared place of residence, prior to declaration of new address of place of residence?
