Registering a trade — Královéhradecký kraj

Královéhradecký kraj has 15 municipal Trade Licensing Offices; the regional Trade Licensing Office is a department of Krajský úřad Královéhradeckého kraje in Hradec Králové. Municipal Trade Licensing Offices are established by law only at municipalities with extended powers (ORP) — not at every town hall, but at selected offices that also handle the agenda for surrounding municipalities in their administrative district. In this region, they are based specifically in these cities: Broumov, Dobruška, Dvůr Králové nad Labem, Hořice, Hradec Králové, Jaroměř, Jičín, Kostelec nad Orlicí, Nová Paka, Nové Město nad Metují, Nový Bydžov, Náchod, Rychnov nad Kněžnou, Trutnov, Vrchlabí. Any of these offices can accept a trade notification regardless of where in the region (or outside it) you have permanent residence or registered seat (sídlo) — the law sets no local competence based on residence. Which municipal office in the region you choose is entirely up to you — all have the same authority to accept a notification regardless of your permanent residence. Apart from an in-person visit, any Czech POINT contact point can also accept the filing and forward it to the competent Trade Licensing Office under § 72 of the Trade Licensing Act. Above the municipal offices stands the regional Trade Licensing Office — in this region it is Krajský úřad Královéhradeckého kraje – Odbor majetkosprávní a krajský živnostenský úřad, oddělení krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Hradec Králové). It is an appeal and methodological authority: it decides appeals against municipal office decisions and harmonises their practice, but it does not accept trade notifications themselves — for those, you turn to the municipal offices listed above. Electronic notification via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) is cheaper than filing in person — 800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč — and does not require visiting any office in the region.
