What We Cannot Help With

While we'd love to help you with all your Czech documents, we are unable to assist with the following:

  • Visa - consult this page on the website of Consulate General in LA.
  • Translations - utilize one of the translators listed here.
  • Apostilles - the document must be apostilled by the competent authority based on the place where the document has been issued.
  • Czech ID - review this page on the Ministry of Interior's website.
  • Czech driver license - this page on the Ministry of Transportartion's website.
  • Passport applications - please contact Consulate General in LA to set up an appointment; more info here. (Please note: beginning in 2026, we will be hosting one or two multi-day events per year where a representative from Consulate General in LA will travel up to the Seattle area with a special device, allowing local residents to apply for their Czech passport locally. We will do our best to inform the community via our website, social media and email.)
