File Slovak Public-Sector Partners Register (RPVS)
Skill: Convert partner & beneficial-owner data into an RPVS filing
Region: Slovakia (Slovensko) Category: Government / AML — Register of Public Sector Partners (RPVS) Does: Takes the data of a partner of the public sector (partner verejného sektora) and its beneficial owners and assembles the electronic filing for the RPVS (Register partnerov verejného sektora) — the register that any entity receiving public funds, contracts, or assets above defined limits must be entered in. Spec: Ministerstvo spravodlivosti SR — RPVS electronic filing (via an authorised person — oprávnená osoba)
The RPVS is Slovakia's "anti-shell-company" register (Act 315/2016). Crucially, filings are made only through an authorised person (oprávnená osoba) — an attorney, notary, auditor, bank, etc. — who performs due diligence, identifies the konečný užívateľ výhod (KÚV / ultimate beneficial owner), and bears responsibility for the verification document (verifikačný dokument). This skill structures the partner + UBO data and the ownership/control analysis that underpins the filing.
When this applies
- An entity that is (or will be) a partner of the public sector — receiving public funds/contracts/assets over the statutory thresholds — must be registered before/at contracting, and must keep the entry current (and re-verify at defined events: change of UBO, by a deadline, on contract conclusion).
- The filing is performed by the oprávnená osoba, not the partner directly.
Structure (RPVS filing)
Partner (partner verejného sektora): business ID (IČO), name, legal form, seat
Authorised person (oprávnená osoba): identification + declaration
Beneficial owners (koneční užívatelia výhod) — repeating:
natural person: name, DOB, address, citizenship
basis: ownership/control test satisfied (and the ownership chain)
Ownership & control structure: direct/indirect chain up to the UBO(s)
Public officials (verejní funkcionári): flag if a UBO is a public official
Verification document (verifikačný dokument): reference — prepared by the authorised person
Data rules
- Identify the KÚV (UBO) under the AML definition (typically >25% ownership/voting or other control); trace the full ownership and control chain and document it — the verification document must justify each UBO determination.
- Each UBO carries identity (name, DOB, address, citizenship) and the legal basis for being a UBO.
- Public-official flag: if a UBO (or someone in the structure) is a verejný funkcionár, it must be declared — a key transparency trigger.
- Authorised person responsibility: the oprávnená osoba verifies the data, prepares the verifikačný dokument, and submits — they are liable for correctness; the partner cannot self-file.
- Re-verification is required at statutory events and deadlines; keep the entry current or face fines and contract consequences.
- Data must be consistent with the company register (ORSR) and the actual structure.
Worked example (outline)
Partner: STAVBA s.r.o., IČO=12345678, seat Bratislava
Authorised person: JUDr. Novák (advokát) — verification document ref VD-2025-077
Ownership chain:
STAVBA s.r.o. ← 100% HoldCo a.s. ← 40% Peter Horváth ; 35% Mária Kováčová ; 25% others
Beneficial owners (KÚV):
Peter Horváth, DOB 1975-..., SK — indirect >25% via HoldCo → UBO by ownership
Mária Kováčová, DOB 1980-..., SK — indirect >25% via HoldCo → UBO by ownership
Public official: none
The structure + verification document are filed to the RPVS by the authorised person.
Validation checklist
- Partner in scope (public-sector partner over thresholds); filing made via an oprávnená osoba
- Partner IČO/name/seat match ORSR; authorised-person identification and declaration present
- KÚV (UBO) identified via ownership (>25%)/control tests with the full chain documented
- Per UBO: identity (name, DOB, address, citizenship) and legal basis
- Public-official status flagged where applicable
- Verification document (verifikačný dokument) prepared and referenced
- Re-verification obligations and deadlines tracked; entry kept current
- Data consistent with the actual ownership/control structure
Last updated: 2026-05-31 — RPVS obligations, thresholds, and verification rules (Act 315/2016) may change; confirm the current scope, UBO tests, re-verification events, and the authorised-person filing process against current Ministerstvo spravodlivosti SR (rpvs.gov.sk) guidance before use.
