Potvrdenie o príjme is a confirmation of your income. Your employer (or accounting department) usually gives this document to you when you ask for it. It shows how much you earn, for what time period, and in what form.
Where you might need it
- at a bank — when you apply for a loan or mortgage;
- when renting a flat — owners often ask for proof of income;
- for social benefits and aid;
- for residence permit matters (pobyt) — as proof of financial means.
Sometimes, the institution that needs the confirmation has its own form. A bank or a government office might have its own template that your employer just needs to fill out and sign. So, first, find out exactly what format and time period they need. Then, ask your employer for the document. This way, you will avoid needing corrections and extra waiting. Usually, the accounting department prepares this confirmation within a few days.
