RECEIPT OF THE STATEMENT IN THE LOCAL AUTHORITY
It is possible to request a statement about the declared or registered residential address of the person in the local authority if the place of residence of the person is within the administrative territory of the local authority and if the local authority has online data exchange with the Register of Natural Persons.
!!! Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Law, if the information required for the institution is not available to the parties in the administrative proceedings, but is available to another institution, the institution shall acquire such itself rather than request such from the parties in the administrative proceedings.
The person does not have to request a statement from the OCMA to file the details with another governmental or local authority institution; the respective institution must request the details from the OCMA itself.
