Good to know Administrative units on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 18.30

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration in Slovenia has announced changes to working hours at administrative units, extending office hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 6:30 PM. This adjustment aims to make it easier for citizens to handle administrative matters in the afternoon without needing time off work. Office hours will start at 8 AM as usual, but will end later on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, while remaining unchanged on other days. The change does not increase the total working hours for employees but shifts their schedule to allow more flexibility. Administrative units serve as crucial points of contact between citizens and the state, handling various legal and personal affairs such as identity documents, vehicle registration, and life events.

Starting Monday, October 19, 2026, administrative offices in Slovenia will extend their operating hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 6:30 PM. This change was introduced through new regulations issued by the government, which adjust working hours and office operations at public administration units. The extended office hours apply specifically to Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the usual schedule remaining unchanged for Mondays and Fridays. Offices will start work at 8 AM daily, but will close at 6:30 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Minister for Internal Affairs and Public Administration Franci Matoz stated that this adjustment aims to bring public administration closer to citizens, allowing them to handle various matters in the afternoon without needing time off from work. According to the ministry, these changes do not increase the total duration of the full working day for employees at administrative offices, but instead alter its timing. Employees can shift the beginning and end of their workday accordingly. Administrative offices remain one of the most important and direct points of contact between residents and the state, as individuals assert their rights and legal interests and fulfill obligations across various areas of public administration. Residents can still resolve many key administrative matters at these offices, including personal documents and identification, birth and marriage registration, residence registration, vehicle registration, employment-related issues, foreign nationals' affairs, agriculture and environment matters, and other administrative services. The ministry recommends that users book appointments via the online application eSamonaročanje - Prijava (gov.si) or call the number 01 828 16 90 (call centre) or submit applications through the eUprava portal.
