About this office
Krajský úřad Moravskoslezského kraje – odbor vnitra a krajský živnostenský úřad: an appeal and methodological office above the region's municipal Trade Licensing Offices, not a place for filing a notification. For an in-person visit, use the office hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (exact time ranges differ by day — see the table above). You file a trade notification at one of the municipal Trade Licensing Offices in the region — the list is in the region offices section on this page; filings are not accepted here. In the same city a municipal Trade Licensing Office is also based here — the notifications themselves belong there; this regional office stands above the region’s municipal offices as an appeal and methodological authority.
How to register your trade here
- When to go in person: You can visit in person: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- Fee: The fee for your first trade registration is 1,000 Kč at the counter, or 800 Kč for an electronic filing.
- What happens next: If your notification meets the requirements, your licence takes effect on the day you file, and you will get the register extract within 5 working days. Full details are in the article Trade registration step by step.
Registering a trade — Moravskoslezský kraj
Moravskoslezský kraj is among the largest: 22 municipal Trade Licensing Offices, with the regional office based in Ostrava. 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: Bohumín, Bruntál, Bílovec, Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Frýdek-Místek, Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, Havířov, Hlučín, Jablunkov, Karviná, Kopřivnice, Kravaře, Krnov, Nový Jičín, Odry, Opava, Orlová, Ostrava, Rýmařov, Třinec, Vítkov, Český Těšín. 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. You may also choose an office outside your place of permanent residence — for example closer to work or on your route — all municipal Trade Licensing Offices have the same authority to accept a notification. 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 Moravskoslezského kraje – odbor vnitra a krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Ostrava). 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. Travelling to an office can be replaced by an electronic filing via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) — it is 200 Kč cheaper (800 Kč instead of 1,000 Kč).
