Frequently asked questions
The questions people actually ring an embassy about — marriage paperwork, appointments, lost passports, photography. Tap a question to open it.
Where is the Embassy of United Kingdom in Prague, and how do I get there?
The embassy is at 118 00 Praha 1, Thunovská 180/14, in Prague 1. Open the address in Google Maps. The consular counter is at the same address. If you are flying in for the appointment, our airport-to-centre guide Ve where to stay in Prague will save you a morning.
What are the opening hours, and do I need an appointment?
The switchboard is open 08.30 – 12.30 13.30 – 17.00. Consular hours are usually shorter than the switchboard hours. Passport, visa and civil-status matters are almost always handled by appointment, so call 257 402 111 before you travel across the city. Missions close on Czech public holidays as well as on their own national day — for United Kingdom that is 3rd Saturday in June – Official celebration of the Birthday of His Majesty King Charles III.
Can I get married at the Embassy of United Kingdom in Prague?
In the Czech Republic a legally binding marriage is performed by a Czech registry office (matrika) or by a church authorised by the Czech state — not by a foreign embassy. A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether United Kingdom is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call 257 402 111. What the mission does do in almost every case is issue or authenticate the paperwork the Czech registry office asks a foreigner for. The whole procedure, venue by venue, is in our guide to the legal requirements for getting married in the Czech Republic.
Which documents do I need from the Embassy of United Kingdom to marry in Prague?
The Czech registry office asks a foreign national for a valid passport, a full birth certificate (the short version is not accepted), a certificate of no impediment — the certificate of legal capacity to marry, which is the document your own authorities or your embassy issue — an affidavit of marital status sworn before a notary, and, if you were married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time. To ask which of these papers United Kingdom issues for its citizens, call 257 402 111. Our step-by-step marriage guide lists the fees and the order to do things in.
Who should I book to photograph a wedding or civil ceremony in Prague?
Bring your own — neither the embassy nor the Czech registry office provides one, and both give you a short, tightly scheduled slot in a small room, so a photographer who has already worked that setting is worth more than a big lens. Two practical points: a mission is a security-controlled building, so ask the consular section in advance whether a photographer may come in and whether their name and ID have to be registered at the door; and if the ceremony itself is at a Czech registry office, ask the matrika where the photographer is allowed to stand. We keep a list of photographers working in Prague and the best photo locations, a guide to Prague proposal photography for the moment before the paperwork, and a city photography guide for the portraits you will want afterwards on the Charles Bridge or in Letná.
Does the Embassy of United Kingdom issue Czech visas?
No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by Czech embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior — never by another country’s mission in Prague. The Embassy of United Kingdom in Prague works the other way round: it serves citizens of United Kingdom living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for United Kingdom to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to living in the Czech Republic covers permits, insurance and costs.
I lost my passport in Prague — who do I contact?
Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report — the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything. Then contact the mission: call 257 402 111. Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it.
Is there a consulate of United Kingdom outside Prague — in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň?
No. United Kingdom runs a single office for the whole Czech Republic — the one listed on this page. Other countries do keep honorary consulates in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň; you can check any of them in the full directory of missions.
How do I dial this number from abroad?
Czech numbers are written locally in three groups of three digits with no prefix. From abroad dial +420 257 402 111; from a Czech phone the nine digits on their own are enough. Every number on this page is already a tap-to-call link, so on a phone you can just touch it.
Can the embassy legalise or apostille my documents?
Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in United Kingdom normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones — and only then presented to the consular section. Which route your particular paper takes depends on whether both countries are in the Hague Apostille Convention, so call 257 402 111 and describe the document before you pay for anything.
