eGovernment

Since I was forced to make an eIdentity with my government, mostly due to new laws about customs, I noted down everything needed from the view of someone who had absolutely no eGovernment account before.

Login:

  • Since 2018-07-01 IDs come with a chip that can be used for logging in - https://info.eidentita.cz/eop/
    • Getting a new ID outside of the expiry period costs 200CZK
  • You can login via the 'Mobilní klíč eGovernmentu' app, to authorize yourself you'll need to visit your local CzechPOINT - your local municipal office will likely have one - https://info.eidentita.cz/mep/
    • Application refuses to run if it detects a rooted phone
  • There are also other options, including authorization through supported banks - https://info.eidentita.cz/idp/
  • MojeID gives free GoTrust Idem Keys (600 CZK) - https://www.mojeid.cz/cs/overeno/

Why:

  • You can get test and vaccination results from ÚZIS - https://ocko.uzis.cz/Home/Index
  • From 2021-07-01 customs laws change - All arriving packages sent from outside the EU now require to go through customs. This means the <22 EUR exception is cancelled. <45 EUR gifts still need to go through customs, but are not encumbered by duty or tax fees.
    • If you do not want to give 200CZK~ to Czech Post for the privilege of giving your package info to customs, you will need to process your package yourself via the eCeP app - https://celnicka.cz/

  • For those without a data box:

    • Your physical address is publicly searchable by default, if you only want to correspond with the government, disable SDS listing AND accepting messages from companies and other people

      • Je ale nutné si dát pozor. Pokud si funkci aktivujete, budou příchozí zprávy automaticky označené za doručené. Kontrola schránky přitom probíhá jednou za 4 hodiny. Na některé příchozí zprávy je přitom nutnost reagovat pouze po omezenou dobu. Je tak tedy na zvážení, zda si novinku zapnout, či si jen aktivovat e-mailové upozornění na nové zprávy a ty si následně ručně archivovat jinde.
