For a citizen whose legal capacity has been restricted to the extent that they are incapable of acting, the change must be reported by their legal representative.

• Upon termination of permanent residence in the Czech Republic, if a citizen decides to terminate their residence in the Czech Republic, they must notify the registration office for their place of permanent residence in writing and surrender their identity card.
