ČSSZ ePortal: How to Log In and What It Offers

The ČSSZ (Czech Social Security Administration) runs an online platform called ePortal, which gives people and businesses access to various services related to social security, pensions, sick leave, and employer obligations. It’s designed to reduce paperwork and avoid unnecessary visits to offices.

How to Log In

There’s no need to create an account from scratch. Instead, you use one of several existing digital identity methods—most of them tied to Czech eGovernment systems.

For Individuals

You can log in using:

  • Your data box (datová schránka) login

  • Bank identity (from banks like Česká spořitelna, ČSOB, Moneta, KB, etc.)

  • eObčanka (electronic ID card with chip)

  • NIA ID (username + password + SMS verification)

  • Mobile eGovernment key

  • Qualified certificate (e.g., Starcos chip card)

  • EU-recognized eID via the International Identification Gateway (IIG)

For Businesses

Companies also use their data box login. In some cases, you may also need to activate the credential (e.g., via Czech POINT) and grant data-access permission.

Acting on Behalf of Someone Else

It’s possible to authorize someone to act on your behalf—an employee, accountant, etc. This requires registering a power of attorney inside the portal. The authorized person logs in with their own credentials and chooses who they’re representing.

What You Can Do on the ePortal

Once logged in, the range of services depends on who you are (individual, employer, self-employed, etc.). Here’s a basic overview:

For Employees / Individuals

  • View your pension and social insurance history

  • Submit forms online (e.g., regarding pensions, sickness, maternity leave)

  • Access interactive PDFs with your data pre-filled

For Freelancers / OSVČ

  • Check paid sickness insurance contributions

  • View records of pension insurance advance payments

  • Download debt-free confirmations for self-employed 

  • Track outstanding balances: unpaid premiums, penalties, and fines

  • Submit various insurance-related documents (e.g., registration, income reports)

  • Print and archive payment overviews for bookkeeping

For Employers

  • Submit required forms for employees (e.g., sickness notifications)

  • Get an overview of payment obligations

  • Manage reporting for multiple employees

For Healthcare Providers

  • Use the eNeschopenka system to manage electronic sick leave certificates

For Everyone

  • Fill and submit interactive forms (some require a digital certificate)

  • Download pre-filled data, save forms, or send them through the portal

  • Some forms can be submitted anonymously, but without access to your data

Tips and Caveats

  • You need to enable cookies and JavaScript in your browser for the portal to work.

  • Some login methods (e.g., NIA, bank identity) may require prior activation or setup.

  • Make sure powers of attorney are properly configured if you’re acting for someone else.

  • Submission options vary by form—some allow direct ePortal submission, others require a data box or certificate.

  • The site works, but isn’t always intuitive—expect a bit of trial and error if using it for the first time.
