Documents

Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates

Available. Birth (Izpisek iz matičnega registra o rojstvu), Marriage (Izpisek iz matičnega registra o sklenjeni zakonski zvezi) and Death Certificates (Izpisek iz matičnega registra o smrti) are available from the civil registrar (Matičar) at any of the Administrative Unit (Upravna Enota) offices in the country. Only civil marriages are legal. Marriage by proxy is not permitted. The first certificate of birth, marriage, or death is free, but subsequent copies require payment of a small fee.  Applicants and their authorized representatives may apply for all certificates in person or by mail, or online at http://e-uprava.gov.si if no fee is required.

Statement of Unmarried Status

Available. The civil registrar of any Administrative Unit will issue a certificate (Samski List) stating that the applicant is free to marry and that there are no legal impediments to the marriage.

Divorce Certificates

Available. Copies of divorce judgments are available from the Family Law Division of the District Court (Družinski oddelek okrožnega sodišča) which decided the case. Only a divorce certificate obtained through the civil court is a legal document.

Identity Card

Available. While Slovenes are not required by law to carry the identity card, the cards are proof of citizenship and permanent residence, so most Slovenes have one. The identity card contains the applicant's photograph, date and place of birth, permanent address, personal identification number, registry number, and signature. Applicants must apply in person for an identity card at any Administrative Unit (Upravna Enota) office in the country.  In emergency cases, such as an urgent business trip, personal medical treatment, or the death or illness of a close relative, one can also apply for an identity card at the Ministry of Interior. 

Police Records

Available. Immigrant visa applicants may obtain Certificates of No Criminal Record (Potrdilo o nekaznovanosti) from the Criminal Records Office (Kazenska evidenca) within the Ministry of Justice (Ministrstvo za Pravosodje).

Prison Records

Available. A statement of the time spent in a criminal institution and on what charges can be obtained from the Department for the Execution of Penal Sanctions (Služba za izvrševanje kazenskih sankcij) within the Ministry of Justice (Ministrstvo za Pravosodje).

Military Records

Available. The branch office of the Department of Defense located in the applicant's local municipality issues a Certificate of Military Service (Izpostava za Obrambo). Applicant must apply in person.

Passport and Other Travel Documents

All old-style Slovene passports with a blue cover were declared invalid as of August 2002, and may no longer be used for any purpose. All Slovene citizens were required to obtain new photo-digital passports with red covers as of that date. In August 2006, Slovenia began issuing an e-passport with a chip that contains the biographic data as well as the digital image of the bearer. The biometric passports also bear a read cover, but are distinguishable from the still-valid non-biometric passports by the ICAO-mandated e-passport symbol on the front. Slovenia also issues dual-language passports in both Hungarian and Italian to its citizens who are members of those ethnic minorities. The format and security features of these documents are identical to the non-dual-language versions, except that all text, including that on the cover, is written in both Slovene and the other language.

Special Clearance and Issuance Procedures

On June 26, 2001, the President signed a 212(f) proclamation for the Western Balkans. This proclamation gives authority for suspending the entry of certain categories of individuals into the United States. The proclamation states that these categories include those "who seek to undermine peace, stability, reconciliation or democratic development in any area or state of the Western Balkans region." Although no specific nationalities are named, the primary targets of this proclamation are individuals who have been identified as obstructing the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia and Herzegovina and those who are seen to be attempting to destabilize Kosovo and Macedonia. In addition, those believed to be responsible for wartime atrocities in the region since 1991 are also included under this proclamation.

VO is entering the names of suspected offenders into CLASS. As with any "00" hit, posts are expected to send in a Security Advisory Opinion (SAO). These SAOs should be in Donkey or Bear format as appropriate and should be slugged for CA/VO/L/C and EUR/SCE. The Department's response is required to visa issuance. In addition, there may be individuals who are not in CLASS, but about whom posts may have suspicions. Posts are encouraged to send in SAOs to VO/L/C for anyone whom they believe may be affected by the limitations of the 212(f), regardless of the results of the CLASS name check.
