Response from the competent authority: 'Reply from the Ministry of the Interior: We
  would like to clarify that in accordance with the Law on the Civil Registry (Official
  Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No.11/2011 - official consolidated text, hereinafter
  ZMatR-UPB2), the Civil Registry, which is a computerised database, records the full
  personal status of citizens of the Republic of Slovenia, as well as the facts of
  births, marriages and deaths of foreign nationals occurring in the territory of
  the Republic of Slovenia. On the basis of the entry in the civil registry, excerpts
  and certificates from the civil registry are issued to individuals on their request,
  but to other persons, in order to protect the personal data contained in those documents,
  they are only provided upon presentation of the appropriate legal basis. The protection
  of personal data is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act (Official Journal
  of the Republic of Slovenia, No 94/07 - official consolidated text, hereinafter
  referred to as ZVOP-1-UPB1), which is a comprehensive and systemic law that sets
  out the rights, obligations, principles and measures to prevent unconstitutional,
  unlawful and unjustified interference with an individual''s privacy in the processing
  of personal data. Specific areas or activities are specifically regulated in sectoral
  laws, which are special laws in relation to ZVOP-1-UPB1. The issue of extracts is
  regulated by the ZMatR-UPB2, which, in order to achieve the objective of personal
  data protection, expressly provides in Article 28(1) that extracts and certificates
  from the civil register shall be issued at the request of the individual to whom
  the entry relates, and at the request of other persons only if they have his or
  her written authorisation or a legal basis. Accordingly, parents, as legal representatives,
  may obtain extracts from their children until they reach the age of majority, but
  after reaching the age of majority or acquiring full legal capacity, the child is
  entitled to make independent claims, which means that, irrespective of the relationship,
  in order to obtain the child''s personal data (extract), the parents need the child''s
  written consent or the relevant legal basis, which gives them the right to dispose
  of the child''s personal data. The provision of personal data or the issue of an
  extract to parents without the consent of the child of the age of majority to whom
  the extract relates would constitute a violation of one of the fundamental rights
  - the right to personal data, which is also guaranteed by the Constitution of the
  Republic of Slovenia, and therefore your proposal to administratively relieve the
  parents of the burden of applying for the issue of an extract for a child of the
  age of majority cannot be taken into account.'
