TREATY
between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on personal documents, travel documents, driving documents and vehicle registration
Czech Republic and Slovak Republic
guided by the desire to facilitate and deepen cooperation between security authorities on personal documents, travel documents, driving licences and vehicle registration

The Contracting Parties undertake, within six months of the entry into force of this Treaty, to issue generally binding legislation laying down the procedure and setting a time limit for the marking of citizenship in civil certificates in cases where the identity card is to be used as a document authorising travel and residence in the territory of the other Contracting Party. They shall inform each other of the issue of this legislation.
(1) The Contracting Parties undertake, after the establishment of two separate States, to recognise in their territory the validity of documents issued by the competent administrative authorities of the other Contracting Party to the following extent:
(a) an identity card, a nationality document to one of the newly created States and a travel document to enter and stay in the territory of the other Contracting State;
(b) driving licences as evidence that the citizen is entitled to drive motor vehicles of the group concerned for a period of six months;
(c) the technical licences of motor vehicles (trailers) as evidence that the vehicle conforms to the approved type or has been approved for its technical competence only until the regulatory arrangements for the operation of vehicles on the road have been changed. A vehicle bearing this document shall be transferred to the Party Register provided it is in proper technical condition.
(2) A vehicle placed in service on the road of one Contracting Party which is not subject to registration shall be recognised as fit for use on the road of the other Contracting Party, provided that it has issued a technical certificate for the vehicle or the competent administrative authority and is in proper technical condition.
Certificates for drivers of road motor vehicles issued by the competent administrative authorities of one of the Contracting Parties shall not be recognised by the other Contracting Party.
(1) Travel documents issued under Act No. 63 / 1965 Coll., on travel documents, competent authorities and travel documents issued under Act No. 216 / 1991 Coll., on travel documents and travel abroad, the competent authorities are valid in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic.
(2) Both Contracting Parties shall carry out the identification of travel documents issued until the end of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and issued after the creation of two separate States by the name of the State and the national emblem of the Contracting Party whose citizen is the holder of the travel document.
(3) General binding laws of the Contracting Parties shall specify the date by which travel documents with the national emblem of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic may be issued. In addition, the generally binding legislation of both Contracting Parties shall specify the date by which the labelling of travel documents must be completed. Travel documents which will not be marked by that date shall no longer be valid.
The data contained in the transport and administrative records and the related file material shall be transmitted by both Parties on request. The detailed details of the particulars of the requests and the procedure for handling the requests shall be laid down in the implementing protocol to this Treaty.
