Procedure for Obtaining a Duplicate of Civil Registry Documents such as a Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, or Death Certificate in Slovakia. The process typically includes the following steps:

- Pay the fee for issuing the duplicate.
- Once your request is processed, you will receive the duplicate certificate.
It is important to note that the exact procedure may vary depending on the municipality or city district, so it is highly recommended to contact the relevant authority in advance to confirm the specific requirements and steps (e.g. whether personal attendance is needed, how to pay the fee, etc.).

The application for the duplicate must be submitted through the registry office (matrika) where you had your last residence in Slovakia. If you do not have and never had residence in Slovakia, you may apply at any registry office in the country.
