The person to be identified must carry a valid passport or identity card and two identical passport photographs that can be used to identify them clearly. At the time of submitting the application, the applicant will be charged a fee for initial identification by the police in accordance with the decree on the charges of the police’s performances, regardless of whether the applicant can be identified or not.
If the police are able to identify the applicant, a certificate on the identification of the person is issued, which is mailed directly to the identification service provider as a registered letter to the address indicated by the applicant. The registration fee is included in the fee for identification. The certificate is delivered to the service provider also in cases where the police have not been able to identify the applicant. In this case, the service provider is informed that reliable identification has not been possible.

If the applicant does not have a valid passport or identity card, they will try to verify the applicant’s identity with other means. It is also possible that the police will not be able to identify the applicant reliably enough.
