Registering a trade — Středočeský kraj

Středočeský kraj has the densest network of all 14 regions, with 26 municipal Trade Licensing Offices — logically, the ring around Praha also has the most municipalities with extended powers. 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: Benešov, Beroun, Brandýs nad Labem-Stará Boleslav, Dobříš, Hořovice, Kladno, Kolín, Kralupy nad Vltavou, Kutná Hora, Lysá nad Labem, Mladá Boleslav, Mnichovo Hradiště, Mělník, Neratovice, Nymburk, Poděbrady, Praha 2, Příbram, Rakovník, Sedlčany, Slaný, Vlašim, Votice, Český Brod, Čáslav, Říčany. 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 Středočeského kraje – Odbor správní a krajský živnostenský úřad (seat: Praha 5). 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. Anyone who does not want to travel can also notify a trade licence electronically — via a data box (datová schránka) or the Citizen Portal (Portál občana) for 800 Kč (an in-person filing at an office costs 1,000 Kč).
