To log in to the Slovensko.sk portal or access your electronic mailbox (eSchránka), you do not necessarily need an ID card with an electronic chip. You can use the following alternatives instead.
You can conveniently access your electronic mailbox (eSchránka) using the Slovensko v mobile app. However, after installing the app, you will need to pair it with your ID card once. After that, you can log in without your ID card.
For more information, visit the website dedicated to the Slovensko v mobile app.
If a foreign national residing permanently, long-term or temporarily in Slovakia wishes to handle their life situations electronically, they should obtain a foreigner’s residence permit with an electronic chip.
The application must be submitted to a Foreign Police Department. There, they will also choose a 6-digit Personal Security Code (BOK), which will give them access to their electronic mailbox (eSchránka).
An alternative authenticator takes the form of a card with an electronic chip and a 6-digit Personal Security Code (BOK).
Alternative authenticators are issued to foreign statutory representatives of companies registered in the Commercial Register of the Slovak Republic. These representatives cannot access their company's electronic mailbox because they are unable to obtain another official identity document (an identity card or a foreigner's residence card).
Lawyers, as well as visiting and established European lawyers, may also apply for an alternative authenticator. Applicants must appear in person at a police department. Slovak citizens may apply at one of the nine document departments located in regional capitals. Foreign nationals must visit one of the 12 Foreign Police departments. Applicants must present a valid identity document and the company's Identification Number (IČO).
The list of offices is available on the Ministry of the Interior's websiteOpens in a new window.
If you are a foreign statutory representative who holds an alternative authenticator and wish to access the electronic mailbox of a legal entity, please submit the Application for Setting Up an Electronic Mailbox for a Natural Person Who Is Not a Citizen of the Slovak RepublicOpens in a new window.
The application must bear the applicant's officially certified signature and must be sent to the following address:
Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic
National Agency for Network and Electronic Services
BC Omnipolis, Trnavská cesta 100/II
821 01 Bratislava
Slovak Republic
Warning
The foreign statutory representative must have a birth identification number recorded in both the Register of Legal Entities and the Register of Natural Persons. If only the date of birth is recorded in the Register of Legal Entities, access to the legal entity's electronic mailbox will not be technically possible.
In this case, you must first contact the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, as the administrator of the register, to request that your birth identification number (mandatory identifier) be added to the statutory body section.
You can also log in to the Slovensko.sk portal using the so-called eIDAS Node. This login method is available to natural persons who hold a foreign electronic identification document issued by an EU Member State. Once successfully logged in, you can also access your electronic mailbox.
Some institutions allow you to submit an electronic application (eSubmission) anonymously, without logging in to the portal.
This option should be indicated in the description of the electronic service. When you submit an eSubmission, a temporary electronic mailbox (eMailbox) valid for one year is also created for you.
Login credentials are generated automatically, allowing you to log in to the temporary mailbox and check the status of your eSubmission.
