Slovak Archive Document Acquisition:

 Fees & Payment:

• Service fees are prepaid and non-refundable.
• We make every effort to obtain records, but archives may issue a negative response due to missing, incorrect, lost, or destroyed records.
• If a record cannot be located, we will provide proof of the request and a negative response.
• Document fee: The rates below INCLUDE the cost of one copy. Extra copies start at 7€ each, depending on the document.

Service Fees (per ancestor):

• €60 – first document from an archive
• €35 – each additional document from the same archive (for a different ancestor)

Separate archive requests:

• €60 – first document
• €35 – each additional document (different ancestor)

Examples:

• Two ancestors, same village/timeframe/year/archive: €95
• Two copies of the same record for the same person: €67
• Two ancestors, same village but different archives (generally due to different years. For example, an 1894 record held at a state-level archive, a 1900 record at a regional archive, and a 1920+ record at the local registrar. These are three different locations.) : €120 

Additional Costs:

• Shipping: €67 via DHL
  
  • Shipping can be avoided if using Iveta Červeňaková for translations; documents will be bundled and shipped once translations are completed, and you will pay shipping only once. 

Processing Time:

• Allow up to 2 weeks for us to begin work.
• Archives have 30 days to respond from the time they receive our request.
• Registry offices may take an additional 30 days to issue the document once they receive the extract from the archive.
• We will contact you upon receiving a response. Please allow 90 days for processing.

Important Note

We are not genealogists. We can only request documents based on accurate information you provide. If you need genealogical research, we can refer you to a qualified Slovak genealogist.
