Termination of permanent residence

Permanent residence does not have to be cancelled only by the person who no longer resides at the location; the property owner can also do so. This right is granted under Section 7, Paragraph 1, Letter f) of Act No. 253/1998 Coll. on Reporting the Residence of Citizens of the Slovak Republic and the Register of Residents of the Slovak Republic: “at the proposal of the owner or all co-owners of the building or part thereof, to a citizen who has no right of use to the building or part thereof; the proposal cannot be filed against the owner or co-owner of the building or part thereof, the spouse, or the dependent child of the owner or co-owner of the building or part thereof.”

The proposal to cancel permanent residence must be submitted to the relevant registration office of the municipality where the property is located, or where the permanent residence needs to be cancelled (in the capital of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava, and in the city of Košice, these data are reported to the city district). You can submit the proposal in person or electronically.

When submitting the proposal, you present an identity document (ID card, passport). It is necessary for the proposal to be signed by the property owner, or all co-owners. We recommend submitting a document confirming the termination of foster care. This administrative act is not subject to an administrative fee. The processing period is 30 days.

After the cancellation of the permanent residence, the registration office notifies the citizen of its cancellation by posting this notice on the official notice board for a period of 15 days in the municipality where the citizen last had a registered permanent residence. In this notice, the office is obliged to publish the name, surname, and date of birth of the citizen.
