Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
What is a domovní kniha (House Book)?
The House Book is the register of accommodated foreign nationals (EU citizens included) required by the Czech Foreigners' Residence Act: the registration-form data plus arrival and departure dates. Every guest with a paid stay, Czech guests included, goes into the Registration Book for the accommodation fee.
Is a digital House Book legally valid?
You can keep it electronically, but have it printed for an inspection. The law doesn't set the House Book's form, but the Foreign Police state that it is kept in paper form for inspections. The Registration Book for the accommodation fee may expressly be kept electronically. Best Guest keeps both books continuously, stores the guest's signature with the entries, and generates either book as a printable PDF whenever you need it.
How long do I need to keep guest book records?
Both the House Book and the Registration Book must be kept for 6 years from the last entry and produced on request during an inspection. Best Guest archives them for the statutory retention period (currently six years), so you're never scrambling to find old records.
