The Rules of the change of the Rules of procedure of registration and de-registration of permanent and temporary residence of citizens, registration of temporary stay abroad and return from abroad, passivation of permanent and temporary residence, form and manner of records keeping started being implemented as of 13 December 2013.

The change refers to the procedure of registration of permanent residence at the address of social welfare centre. Precisely, the provision specifying that the residence registration form shall be filled in by an employee in social welfare centre has been deleted and thus the employees of social welfare centres are just obliged to verify the registration form. 

The Rules were changed with an aim to standardize and synchronize the acting of institutions, precisely social welfare centres, police departments and police stations.

Praxis will continue monitoring the implementation of adopted regulations and pointing at identified problems to the competent bodies.
