Changing your authorised person in RPVS

Changing your authorised person in RPVS in practice

A public sector partner can replace its RPVS authorised person at any time and without giving a reason. Section 4(6) of Slovak Act No. 315/2016 expressly recognises this right. Typical reasons are slow communication, the previous authorised person's practice closing down, or wanting corporate work and RPVS handled by one lawyer.

When taking over, we first review the existing verification document, the history of changes and whether any qualified complaint is pending. We then sign an agreement, file the change and carry out our own verification within 30 days. If the previous authorised person does not cooperate, we verify the details independently from public registers and from you.

What we help with

  • We check whether the existing verification document is correct and current.
  • We find out whether a qualified complaint or penalty proceedings are pending.
  • We take over the files from the previous authorised person.
  • We file the application to change the authorised person.
  • We carry out our own verification within 30 days.

Worth knowing

Your entry continues

Replacing the authorised person does not interrupt the partner's entry. Contracts with the public sector remain valid and you can still sign new ones.

Verification within 30 days

The new authorised person must carry out a verification and prepare its own document within 30 days of being registered. It cannot adopt its predecessor's document.

When the role ends

If the current authorised person's role ends, the partner has 30 days to appoint a new one. Otherwise the entry may be removed.

Common questions

  • No. You need neither a reason nor their consent. You end the contract with them under its own terms.

  • The Žilina District Court usually decides on the change within 5 working days. The 30-day verification period then follows, so the whole process usually closes within 5 to 6 weeks of first contact.

  • We take over regardless. We verify the details from the Commercial Register, the share register and the documents you provide.
