Address Change in the Czech Republic for EU Citizens

Change Your Address in Prague with Professional Assistance

If you move to a new apartment in the Czech Republic, you are required to report your new address to the Ministry of the Interior (MOI).

For EU citizens living in Prague or anywhere in the Czech Republic, updating your registered address is an important administrative obligation. Failing to report the change can create problems with immigration records, residence registration, or future applications such as temporary residence certificates or permanent residency.

Why You Need to Report Your Change of Address

• Legal Compliance: You are legally required to report a change of residence within 30 working days (for those with a Registration Certificate) or if you stay at a new address for more than 180 days (for Permanent Residents).

• Avoid Fines: Failure to report can result in administrative fines of up to 3,000 CZK.

• Consistent Records: Your address must match across the Social Security office, your employer, and your health insurance provider.

• 2026 Digital Shift: With the new “Foreigner Account” system, having an outdated address can block your access to essential e-government services and upcoming mandatory registrations in 2027.

Who Can Apply

This service is designed for EU citizens living in the Czech Republic who need to update their registered address.

You may need to report an address change if you:

• Moved to a new apartment or house
• Signed a new rental contract
• Changed accommodation within Prague
• Moved to a different city in the Czech Republic
• Registered a new proof of accommodation

Even if you already hold a Temporary Residence Certificate, you must still report the new address to the Ministry of Interior.
