Datova schranka (Czech databox) was introduced in 2009 as a tool for effective and official communication with public administration bodies. The goal is to facilitate and digitalize communication and the exchange of documents through official channels. Documents sent using the data box have legal weight, are verified and considered delivered. Letters that arrive in your mailbox are considered delivered after 10 days, even if you do not pick them up. It is therefore very important to pick up the data box. It is also advisable to set up a notification email in case a new message arrives in your databox. You can also entrust the management of the data box to an accounting firm that can take care of it for you.
- You will archive all the messages by yourself (.p7s files can be reprinted at the post office at any time, even with the delivery receipt), save the pdf versions on your disk, or print the messages and sort them in a file.
-
You will purchase the data vault service and your messages will be available in the archive even after 90 days. The price for 100 messages is CZK 720 (annual fee).
-
You delegate the management of the data box to us. We use software to manage the data mailbox, which loads the messages into our database and makes them available to you at any time. At the same time, using the databox, we can effectively communicate with state administration authorities on your behalf and arrange all the necessary actions. In case an action is needed from your side, we will let you know.
