Frequently asked questions

What is an apostille and do I need one in Czech Republic?

An apostille is a standardised certificate that authenticates a public document for use in another country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention (1961). Czechia is a signatory. If you need to use a Czech document abroad, or a foreign document in Czechia, it may need to be apostilled and/or translated. We advise on whether an apostille is required for your situation.

Can foreigners open a bank account in Czech Republic?

In principle, yes, but Czech banks have varying policies for foreign nationals, and the process can require more documentation than for Czech citizens. We assist clients in preparing the required documents and navigating the bank account opening process.

Can I exchange my foreign driving licence for a Czech one?

In many cases, yes. Holders of driving licences from EU/EEA countries and certain other countries can exchange their licence for a Czech equivalent under Czech law. Requirements vary by country. We can advise on the process and assist with the administrative steps.
