Who decides whether I need a background check for my employment?

According to the above-mentioned regulations, there are certain areas of activities for which it is necessary to have a background check. In general, however, any person entering a security-restricted area unescorted needs background check. It can therefore be summarised that if you are required to enter a security-restricted area unescorted as part of an activity not listed in the table above, you must have a valid Certificate.

This shall not apply if the person is in service with the Police of Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, the Customs Administration of the Czech Republic, the Prison Service of the Czech Republic, the General Inspection of Security Forces, the Security Information Service and the Office for Foreign Relations and Information, or who holds a valid proof of security qualification of a natural person or a valid certificate of a natural person under the act regulating the protection of classified information; such person is deemed reliable under Civil Aviation Act.
