Official Proof of Czech Residence for Banks, Employers, Schools & Authorities
When living in the Czech Republic as an international resident, a standard rental lease or utility bill is often not enough to satisfy strict administrative requirements. Czech banks, public schools, kindergartens, state health insurers, and municipal offices regularly demand an official, government-stamped Residence Confirmation (Potvrzení o pobytu).
This official extract certifies your registered address, residence permit category, and legal status in the Czech Central Foreigners’ Information System.
Wise Expats manages the entire petition remotely under a Power of Attorney. We verify your registration, prepare the official forms, file directly with the competent authority on your behalf, track the 30-day statutory processing window, and deliver the stamped document straight to you.
What is included
- Jurisdiction Screening: We determine whether your confirmation must be issued by the Ministry of the Interior or the Czech Foreign Police based on your visa status and destination purpose.
- Petition & Document Drafting: We draft the formal Czech application (žádost o potvrzení o pobytu) and attach required administrative fees.
- Power of Attorney Representation: We submit the application directly to the authorities on your behalf under a limited authorization (plná moc).

- Document Dispatch: Once issued, we pick up or receive the official stamped confirmation and forward you the original document or high-resolution scan.
