Slovak identity card

The Slovak citizen ID card (Slovak: Občiansky preukaz, citizen card, literally civic certificate) is the identity document used in the Slovak Republic (and formerly in Czechoslovakia), in addition to the Slovak passport. It is issued to all citizens, and every person above 15 years of age permanently living in Slovakia. It is required by law to hold a valid identity card.

The Slovak identity card can be used for travel anywhere in Europe (except Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and United Kingdom) as well as to Georgia, French overseas territories, Montserrat and organized tours to Tunisia^[2] in lieu of a passport.

A new biometric ID card with NFC chip has been issued since 1 December 2022.^[3]

History

During the communist regime (1948–89) this simple card developed into a booklet dozens of pages long. It contained such personal details as employment history and vaccination records.^[4]
