• Where and how can you apply for a gift credit?

  It is possible to apply for a credit gift through the Parent Vouchers module. The system of Parental Vouchers is a new special module within Brno iD. To use the functions of this module, it is necessary to have a verified user account of the child on Brno iD. The service is open to users of a full Brno iD account (it is always a child's account), or an authorized person who does not have a child's account verified or established can create a new account and have it verified at any time by online application or in person at a DPMB or KORDIS point of sale.

• What needs to be filled in the application?

  To submit an application, you must fill in the child's birth number, contact email and correctly fill in the details of the legal representative = first and last name, birth number, date of birth and address of permanent residence in the application form. The application is submitted (saved) successfully only if the data of the child and the legal representative are valid and correct. Data about the child and the legal representative are verified online in the register of residents.

• What if the child or parent (legal representative) are not a citizen of the Czech Republic?

  In case of problems on the part of the child (or if the problem is on the part of the parent or legal representative), contact the Parental Vouchers officer first at the telephone numbers listed below or by e-mail. Your application for the allocation of credits to Brno iD will be dealt with individually. Contact information: phone: +420 542 172 482, +420 542 172 520, e-mail: rodicovskevouchery@mailbrno.cz

• When will the claimant receive the gift of 4000 credits?

  After the application for a credit donation has been approved by an official on the part of the municipality of Brno, 4,000 credits will be allocated to the child's account and at the same time a valid (let's understand it as signed) donation contract will be sent to the contact email that the applicant entered into the system (let's understand it as the legal representative's email ).

• When is it possible to apply for credits and then redeem the credits?

  You can apply for credits from the start of the year until 30.11. Credits can be used from start of the same year until 30.12., unused credits expire on 31.12.

• How to proceed when applying credit for an activity or club?

  The parent logs into the child's account, clicks on the "Offer credit to an organization" page in the Parent Vouchers module, and selects the organization their child attends. He then fills in the name of the activity, the price of the activity and the variable symbol (the one with which you have to pay the co-payment). The form calculates the maximum number of credits that can be used, if you have that many credits, from the general percentages set by the organizations (it may rarely happen that the organization directly writes to you that a different co-payment applies for a specific activity, but the organization should tell you this information directly). After filling out the form, you send a credit offer to the organization. It usually waits for the parent to pay the specified co-payment in the classic way and then accepts your credits.
  Example: The activity costs CZK 1,000, credits can be used for 80% of the amount, the parent's participation is set by the organization at 20%. The parent fills in the price of CZK 1,000 in Brno ID and it turns out that 800 credits can be used. In addition, according to the terms of the organization, the parent must pay a co-payment of CZK 200 in a timely manner in the classic way.

  A minimum of 500 or more credits must be offered and applied at once (unless you have less, then all the rest of the credits), i.e. credits can normally be applied to activities (with 20% participation) at a price of at least CZK 625. From 2025 new minimum is 300 credits (with 20% participation) so a course of at least CZK 375.

  Some organizations (for example SVČ Lužánky) can directly send you a QR code that leads as a link to the above-mentioned Brno iD section, and after logging into the child's account on Brno iD and entering the above-mentioned sub-page, most of the data in the form will be pre-filled and made easier it for you.

• Which organizations can participate and how?

  All organizations providing leisure activities (clubs, camps...) to children up to 18 years of age can participate in the project. If you are interested in registration, please send the following information about your organization: name and registered office of the organization, ICO number, datovka ID and bank account number. This information will be used to create an account for the organization in the Brno ID system. Please send the data to the datovka box of the city of Brno (= a7kbrrn) and put "Family vouchers" in the subject line. You will be prompted to activate the registration by a datovka message, with a direct link to Brno ID, where you will perform all the above steps.

  Organizations participating in the project will have an account created in the Brno iD system for administration and acceptance of credits for organized activities. The organization will set a parameter of co-financing of the leisure activity by the parent, in the range of 20% to 80% of the price, while the remaining part can be paid through credits.
