Municipal Trade Licensing Office, seat: Praha 8 — specifically Úřad městské části Praha 8 – Živnostenský odbor — is one of the 227 offices established at municipalities with extended powers (ORP). For an in-person visit, use the office hours on Monday and Wednesday, always 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–17:00. Do you want to avoid travelling?

Registering a trade — Hlavní město Praha
Hlavní město Praha has a special structure: the trade licensing agenda is not handled by municipal offices of neighbouring municipalities, but by departments of individual city districts — 22 offices in total — plus the magistrate department as the regional Trade Licensing Office. Unlike the rest of the country, municipal Trade Licensing Offices here are not created at municipalities with extended powers — the capital city has no ORP. Under § 1 of Act No. 570/1991 Coll., on Trade Licensing Offices, they are the trade licensing departments of the city district offices designated by the Statute of the Capital City of Prague; each handles the agenda for its own administrative district. Specifically, these are the offices of the city districts Praha 1 to Praha 22. 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 are not tied to your permanent residence or registered seat (sídlo) — any municipal Trade Licensing Office in the Czech Republic can accept the notification, even outside this region. 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 Magistrát hlavního města Prahy – odbor živnostenský a občanskosprávní (seat: Praha 1). 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.
