Authorised representative
An adult person may submit an application for repeated identity card via his or her authorised representative.
The authorisation document must contain the following data:
- authorising person’s name and personal identification code;
- name and personal identification code of a person to be authorised;
- number and issuer of identity document of the person to be authorised;
- exact name of the act that the authorised person will be authorised to perform;
- validity period of authorisation;
- signature of the authorising person.
In addition to application documents, the authorised person has to submit his or her identity document (ID-card or passport) and authorisation document signed by the person authorising. An ID-card will be not released to the person authorised.
An employee authorised by the local government or guardianship authority may apply to the Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB) in order to deliver the application and to receive an ID-card, if the applicant is unable to apply to the PBGB personally due to his or her permanent state of health and fingerprinting is not required by applying for the document.
The authorised employee is required to submit:
- authorisation document of a local government of guardianship authority;
- identity document of the person authorised;
- document proving state of health of the applicant (medial certificate);
- written agreement of the applicant;
- report of verification of the applicant’s identity prepared by the person authorised;
- confirmation of the authorised authority that the applicant’s state of health does not enable him or her to apply to the PBGB personally.
