Glossary
úřad
Pronounced oo-zhad
In one line
An office or authority — the general word for a public administration body.
Where you meet it
Almost every procedure sends you to some kind of úřad, each with its own hours and catchment area.
The fuller explanation
Which úřad you attend usually depends on your registered address. Offices typically have long hours only on Mondays and Wednesdays, and many now require an online appointment.
