Data regarding real properties are registered in the Real Estate Cadastre, which serves also as an information system (database). The Real Estate Cadastre consists of cadastral files pertaining to individual cadastral areas. A part of cadastral files is also a Collection of Deeds containing documents such as purchase agreements, easement agreements, mortgage agreements, decisions of governmental and administrative authorities and courts, and notarial deeds, etc.
In order to obtain data and documents from cadastral files, anyone can apply for the relevant information and documents at the competent District Office in charge of the particular cadastral area where the relevant real property is located (in person or in writing). In addition, extracts from title deeds (containing information on the relevant real property, its owners, encumbrances and particular other data) and copies of cadastral maps can be obtained also at postal offices (regardless of the location of the relevant real property). Providing of these documents by the District Offices and postal offices is subject to payment of applicable administrative fees.
Information and data from cadastral files (including extracts from title deeds) can also be obtained for free through the following electronic portal: https://kataster.skgeodesy.sk/eskn-portal/about.
Documents and information obtained via the electronic portal for free, are, however, only of an information nature and cannot be used for legal (official) purposes. A search in the electronic portal is available to public without a need for any registration.
Further, various information regarding real properties (including extracts from title deeds for official and legal purposes) can be obtained upon request or based on an application from the Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority of the Slovak Republic, which is the central body of state administration for geodesy, cartography and real estate cadastre (https://www.skgeodesy.sk/sk/). Requests for information and documents can be sent to the mentioned authority also via the electronic portal for communication with public authorities (which requires access via a Slovak ID card with an electronic chip or a similar electronic card): https://www.slovensko.sk/sk/titulna-stranka
Depending on the nature of the information and documents requested, administrative fees may be payable.
