Registering a trade — Olomoucký kraj

Olomoucký kraj serves the agenda through 13 municipal Trade Licensing Offices; the regional office is based in Olomouc. 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: Hranice, Jeseník, Konice, Lipník nad Bečvou, Litovel, Mohelnice, Olomouc, Prostějov, Přerov, Uničov, Zábřeh, Šternberk, Šumperk. 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 Olomouckého kraje – Odbor majetkový, právní a správních činností (seat: Olomouc). 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).
