How do you get an EMŠO number in Slovenia in 2026?

Slovenian rules assign EMŠO when a foreigner exercises rights or obligations in the country. The competent body depends on purpose: administrative units for foreigner status including long-stay visa contexts, FURS for tax obligations, ZZZS for health insurance, the Employment Service for third-country work purposes, schools for enrolment, and other listed bodies for their domains. GOV.SI publishes a dedicated Zahtevek za določitev EMŠO form when you must apply explicitly.

Fill the form in clear block letters, sign it, and attach a readable passport or ID copy. If someone else files for you, include a signed power of attorney. For uncommon purposes outside the listed routes, the Ministry of the Interior and Public Administration can handle complete applications with supporting proof such as property intent or other lawful grounds.

Use the same EMŠO spelling on tax, bank, and health forms: Get a tax number, Open a bank account, and Enrol in public health. Keep address registration aligned: Register address. Digital portals become usable once identity exists: Set up eUprava.

Full landing stack: Paperwork after moving. Residence still sits on a separate path: Apply for a residence permit.
