Recognition of documents demonstrating knowledge of the Czech language and/or documents demonstrating knowledge of Czech life and institutions is in the remit of the Czech Ministry of the Interior. Documents for assessment are accepted by the Regional Authorities, which then pass them on to the Czech Ministry of the Interior, which decides whether to recognise them. ILPS CU neither assesses these documents nor decides on their recognition. If a document is recognised, the applicant for Czech citizenship does not have to take the Czech Life and Institutions Exam and/or the Czech Language Exam for the purposes of granting Czech citizenship. If a document is not recognised, knowledge of the Czech language and of Czech life and institutions has to be demonstrated by passing the Czech Citizenship Exam. The conditions for demonstrating knowledge of the Czech language and Czech life and institutions are laid down in Act No. 186/2013 Coll., on Czech citizenship (Section 14) and Decree No. 433/2013 Coll. on demonstrating knowledge of the Czech language and of Czech life and institutions for the purposes of granting Czech citizenship (Section 15).
