Foreign companies without prior legal registration in Slovenia are required to apply for a tax identification number before initiating their activities within the country. This process involves submitting an application for tax registration (the Edavki DR-04 form) to the finance office. The foreign company's authorized representative(s) must also apply for entry in the tax register to obtain a Slovenian tax identification number, which can be done using the Edavki forms DR-02 or DR-04.
For foreign individuals conducting activities in Slovenia, they are required to use their previously obtained tax identification number as natural persons. Additionally, they need to file an application (the Edavki DR-03 form) with the finance office to register their activity-related data.

The application process can be completed through three methods:
- In-person submission of the application at any finance office, excluding the General Finance Office and the Special Finance Office.
- By an authorized person, who must present a power of attorney on behalf of the foreign entity.
- Via post.
Upon successful application, the certificate of assignment of the tax identification number will be sent by mail to the provided address. In cases where the application is submitted in person, the certificate can be issued immediately.
It is essential for individuals and entities to promptly notify the tax authority of any changes in their data or the addition of new information, such as a new address or bank account. Such changes must be reported within eight days of their occurrence and can be communicated using the relevant forms (DR-02 for natural persons, DR-03 for natural persons with an activity, and DR-04 for legal entities) or any other document containing the required information.
