The registration process and the registration itself
The volunteer’s process of registration is divided into three steps. The first step is to create a volunteer account. In the second step, it is necessary to confirm the registration of a volunteer account by clicking on a confirmation link sent via e-mail. The last step of the process is filling in and confirm the registration form.
We recommend to use the web browser Google Chrome for the process of registration and the usage of the volunteer account. The registration is possible also via other web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari), but some active components may not work correctly. The web environment of the registration form is not optimized for smartphones hence why we recommend using your laptop or personal computer (PC). The registration, the user’s environment and the registration form is created in two language mutations (the Slovak and the English Language). The language choice is displayed in the up-right corner of the web page.
Prepare your passport (foreign volunteers) or an ID card (Slovak volunteers) and a photo for filling in the registration form. The picture needs to be focused on your face against a one-coloured background (ideally white) and needs to be current – used for obvious identification based on visual cues.
You can save your partly filled in registration form and continue to work with it later. It is necessary to fill in all the fields in the registration form. The registration system will give you a notice about all unfilled fields.
Please make sure to state only truthful information during the registration process. Details of the provision of personal data, their processing and use are in the document about the provision, processing and use of the personal data in accordance with the European Union Regulation GDPR.
