Methods of obtaining reference data from the ZR

Web Services

Through the web services, an entity can draw reference data from the RoW. An entity that operates in an agenda, has this agenda duly declared in the RPP, has registered its agenda information system (also known as AIS) and has been issued a valid certificate by the administration of the basic registers (also known as SZR), and must have its own legal authorization to draw data in its own law and according to Law No.111 /2009 Coll., on the basic registers, this entity is entitled to draw reference data from the ZR through external services of the information system of the basic registers administration (also referred to as ISZR).

In order to retrieve the reference data by web services, it is necessary to first identify your data trunk to the CR and then log in to receive notifications of changes.

Czech POINT

The abbreviation Czech POINT stands for Czech Submission Authentication and Information National Terminal. It is a contact point of public administration that provides citizens with, in particular, verified data held in central registers such as the Criminal Register, the Commercial Register or the Trade Register. In addition to standard services, extracts from the basic registers can be used pursuant to Act No 111/2009 Coll., on the basic registers, as amended. Citizens have the opportunity to verify the data held in the registers about them, while officials have access to reference data from the basic registers through forms in the CzechPOINT@office section.

One of the objectives of the implementation is to make services to citizens and other entities faster, more accessible and more efficient. Czech POINT is thus a contact point of public administration, which allows to obtain statements or make submissions in a single place.

Public authorities and legal entities are automatically provided with data boxes, all others upon their request. Anyone who has a data box and is an authorised person pursuant to Article 8 of Act No 300/2008 Coll., on electronic acts and authorised document conversion, as amended, may request extracts.
