Type of project: citizen-oriented services

The criminal record information system managed by the Ministry of Justice stores and maintains data on criminal history of individuals and issues criminal record certificates. The certificate confirms whether or not an individual was convicted of a criminal offense. Individuals may obtain the certificate to exercise their rights - most frequently, the criminal record certificate is required in the context of job applications, project applications or obtaining a security clearance.

In the Republic of Slovenia, individuals have already been able to request the criminal record certificate through the electronic government service (e-Uprava), but thus far the certificate (positive or negative) was delivered to the requesting individual’s address of residency via the standard mail service.

As of 21 October 2019, a request may also be submitted through the electronic government service. Moreover, a negative certificate proving that an individual has not been convicted by the criminal courts in the Republic of Slovenia (a non-conviction certificate) can now also be received electronically.

On the other hand, a positive certificates, confirming that an individual was convicted (a conviction certificate) cannot be received electronically, as the relevant national law requires that positive certificates be delivered through registered mail only.

We trust that the recently introduced option to obtain the negative criminal record certificates electronically will facilitate many individuals in exercising their rights in all situations where such certificates are required, such as in the process of seeking employment.

Les notaires consacreront du temps à informer et à sensibiliser les citoyens à leurs droits dans les domaines du droit civil, du droit des successions, du droit des contrats et du droit de la famille - le nouveau Code de la famille, introduit en Slovénie en avril 2019. Nouvelle édition de la revue "Notarski" vestnik "sera publié, et il y aura une certaine apparition de notaires dans les médias et dans les émissions de télévision en direct, où nous répondrons aux questions du public concernant les questions de droit civil.
