'''Location:''' In December of 1949, all church vital records were declared state property. In 1952 the state began centralizing all these records into state archives ''štátné archívy''. In many cases records as late as the 1940s have been placed in state regional archives. Registers more recent than those in the state archives are still at local city or subdistrict registration offices ''matričné úrady''. | '''Location:''' In December of 1949, all church vital records were declared state property.

'''Accessibility:''' The Genealogical Society of Utah has been microfilming Slovak archive vital records since 1991. Although the microfilming is not complete (Bratislava, the last archive, is currently being filmed), most of the films are now available through the Family History Library. Slovak church registers are also accessible to those who hire a private researcher to visit the archives for them or who can visit the archives in Slovakia themselves and research the records in person.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Slovakia,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1991-1999.</ref> | '''Accessibility:''' The Genealogical Society of Utah has been microfilming Slovak archive vital records since 1991.
