How to search the Czech land registry (Nahlížení do KN)

Whether you found a possible match in the ÚZSVM list or just want to verify ownership of a specific property, basic land registry information is available for free within a few minutes.

Where to look

The official free application is called Cadastre Preview (Nahlížení do katastru nemovitostí) and can be found at nahlizenidokn.cuzk.cz. It's run by the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre (ČÚZK).

Steps

1. Choose the property type. Parcel, building, or residential unit — depending on what you're looking for.
2. Enter the location. Most often by cadastral area or municipality, or directly by parcel number or building number.
3. Open the result. A brief extract appears — owner's name, parcel number, land title number, and area.
4. Confirm you're not a robot. Without logging in, the system requires you to type a verification code from an image to see the owner.

Brief vs. full extract

The basic (brief) extract is always free and usually enough to verify an owner. A full, officially certified extract with a stamp is chargeable — 100 CZK for the first page, 50 CZK for each additional page. It's issued by the cadastral office, or you can order it via a Czech POINT desk at a post office.

If you log in

Via the Citizen Identity (Identita občana), the "My Land Registry" application (on portálobčana.cz) can show you a direct overview of all properties registered under your own name — useful for a quick check of your own assets, though it can't be used to check relatives' names, since logging in only works for your own identity.
