In Slovakia there are no specific registers for marital agreements. Agreements in the form of an authentic instrument are registered in the Central Notary Register of Authentic Instruments, which is held by the Notary Chamber of the Slovak Republic. The person holding the authentic instrument may verify it by checking on the website of the Notary Chamber whether the authentic instrument was issued in the Slovak Republic and the name of the notary who drew it up. The contents of the authentic instrument are not available.

4.5. Can a matrimonial contract concluded in a foreign state according to foreign law be registered in your country? If yes, under which conditions or formalities?

[This information is valuable in respect of third parties, see art. 28 of the European Regulation (EU) 2016/1103 of 24 June 2016. When a matrimonial contract is registered in your country it can be invoked against third parties. An interconnection of matrimonial property registers in Europe is not existing and therefor the registration of the matrimonial contract must be undertaken in all countries separately, where the spouses have property or conclude contracts. Only then the spouses can invoke their matrimonial contract against third parties in that country.]

There is no register of agreements on matrimonial property regimes in Slovakia.
