The above obligation results from the direct application of Act No. 133/2000 on population records in relation to Acts 582/1991 on the organization of social security and 592/1922 on health insurance, as well as from the Tax Code 280/2009. The wording of the regulations shows that the insured person is obliged to report the Czech "Pesel" to the selected health insurance fund and the poviat branch of the Social Insurance Administration competent for the company's seat. The so-called The "insured person number" assigned by each of these institutions is only temporary.

As a rule, it takes about 30 days and is free of charge. The only necessary condition is to attach to the application a current abbreviated copy of the birth certificate together with an official translation into the Czech language. Copies are issued by the commune office and can be applied for through ePUAP. The electronic shortened copy is signed in accordance with the eIDAS standard and can also be used for the purpose of the application.
