In short

Wrong EES record from a crossing in Slovakia — a missing exit or a false overstay? You have the right to get it corrected. Here's who to write to, and a letter you can send.

Who to contact

Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic

Handles requests to see or correct EES data

Full contact details, data protection officer and complaints

Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic — Bureau of Border and Foreign Police of the Presidium of the Police Force (Úrad hraničnej a cudzineckej polície Prezídia Policajného zboru) — Slovakia's designated EES data controller, which handles requests to access or correct your EES data. The Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky) is the supervisory authority: under Art. 53(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 it must, upon request, assist and advise you in exercising your rectification rights, and you can complain to it.

Controller: email ees.slovakia@minv.sk, tel. +421 9615 75010, Pribinova 2, 812 72 Bratislava. Ministry data protection officer: gdpr@minv.sk, tel. +421 9610 55 101. Supervisory authority: statny.dozor@pdp.gov.sk, tel. +421 2 32 31 32 14, Galvaniho 7/B, 821 04 Bratislava.

Not verified per country — the official contact list does not state accepted languages; we provide the template in Slovak and English.

The procedure

  1. Gather your proof

    Boarding passes, tickets, accommodation and payment records showing where you were.
  2. Fill in a letter

    Use a template below: say which record is wrong and what the correct facts are.
  3. Send it

    To the authority above — or to any other EES country if that's easier. You don't have to use Slovakia.
  4. Note the date

    They must reply within 45 days. No answer or a refusal? You can complain to the data protection authority.
If they refuse or don't answer

Action or complaint before the competent authorities or courts (Art. 54), including when the 45-day deadline passes unanswered; the supervisory authority's assistance remains available throughout (Art. 54(2)).
