Fields people get wrong

Case reference number (Číslo jednací)

Field 1

From your OAMP correspondence. Needed to link the request to your pending application.

Original appointment date and time

Field 2

The date and time from the biometric appointment notice you received from OAMP.

OAMP office location

Field 3

The specific OAMP office where the biometric appointment was scheduled (e.g., Praha, Brno, Plzeň).

Reason for rescheduling

Preferred alternative dates

Field 5

Tips & Best Practices

  • Explain why you cannot attend (work, travel, illness)
  • Missing biometrics without rescheduling can delay your card issuance significantly
  • Trilingual form (Czech/English/Ukrainian)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Simply not showing up without requesting a new date
  • Submitting the request after the missed appointment
