Request for documents

Document retrieval in Slovakia is a complex process, especially when it involves diplomas, birth certificates, and other official data. Errors in the preparation or submission of requests can lead to long delays or even rejections, so it is crucial to trust this process to professionals.

What is Document Retrieval and When is it Necessary?

A document retrieval request is the process of obtaining duplicate copies of important papers that have been lost, damaged, or are otherwise unavailable. Such documents, including birth certificates, marriage (divorce) certificates, or educational diplomas, may be needed to confirm personal data, apply for visas, obtain citizenship, or participate in other legal processes. It is important to understand that duplicates hold the same legal weight as originals.

Document retrieval in Bratislava, Slovakia, is relevant in situations where originals are lost, damaged, or required in another country. This procedure is necessary when changing a surname, relocating permanently abroad, or restoring a marriage certificate. In each case, we offer assistance with obtaining duplicates and also handle the translation of marriage certificates and any other client-requested services.

To obtain duplicates, you need to contact authorized institutions, including:

• Civil Registry Offices: These offices hold records of births, marriages (divorces), and deaths. Document retrieval from the Civil Registry Office allows for the issuance of duplicates of certificates for any past life events.
• Medical Institutions: These archives contain data about health conditions, medical examinations, and treatments. You can obtain copies of medical certificates or extracts from medical records here.
• Educational Institutions: Schools, colleges, and universities issue duplicates of diplomas, certificates, and other documentation required when originals are lost or to verify qualifications abroad.
• Court Offices: Court archives can be used to request documents with copies of judgments, orders, and other court papers used to restore rights or appeal decisions.
