Submission by Remote Means
If you want to submit an application, add documents to an application or, for example, report a change by post, Data Box or by e-mail with an advanced electronic signature, make sure you comply with the time limit for doing so. The posting date, if you send the documents by post, or the sending date, if you send the documents by Data Box or e-mail, are essential for complying with the given time limit. Please always check if you can realise the procedure just by sending the required documents, or if it is necessary that you come to a Ministry of the Interior office in person.

If you own a Data Box, you can send the filled-in form together with the required documents by Data Box. All the attachments, except for the form itself, must have the form of authorised conversion.
Authorised conversion means conversion of documents from paper to electronic form. Such a converted document will then have the same effectiveness as the original one. Authorised conversion is used when you need to provide an original or a certified copy of a document. Such a conversion can only be carried out by an authorised entity. You can have documents converted by authorised conversion at contact points called Czech POINT, for example.
