Documents

Persons not physically present in Slovakia may apply for the required documents through Slovakian diplomatic or consular representatives abroad. Application may also be made through the applicants' diplomatic representative in Prague. In case the document needs to be "super-legalized", it must be authenticated by the Slovakian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The application in this case must be made on a form prescribed by the Slovakian authorities and obtainable from the diplomatic representative. Six weeks to six months is the normal time required to obtain public documents after the application has been submitted by the diplomatic representative to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Available. Each party to a divorce suit, which has taken place before Slovakian courts, may apply for an additional copy of the divorce decree. The original decree is normally delivered to each party provided the address is known. Additional copies of divorce decrees are subject to fees.

Note: Persons not physically present in Slovakia may apply for the required documents through Slovakian diplomatic or consular representatives abroad or the U.S. Embassy Bratislava. Six to eight weeks is the normal time required to obtain public documents after the application has been submitted.
