Response from the competent authority: 'Reply from the Ministry of the Interior: With
  regard to the proposal to allow fingerprinting of foreigners at any administrative
  unit in Slovenia, not only at the one responsible for issuing the residence permit,
  we would like to clarify that we will consider the proposal. We should limit ourselves
  to the procedures for the extension of a temporary residence permit or for the issue
  of a further temporary residence permit, and for the issue of a permanent residence
  permit if the identity of the alien is established beyond doubt. The identity of
  the alien must be verified by the administrative unit which takes fingerprints from
  the administrative unit which accepted the application for the extension or further
  extension of the residence permit or the issue of the permanent residence permit.
  However, fingerprinting for the issue of the first temporary residence permit can
  only be carried out at a diplomatic mission or consulate of the Republic of Slovenia
  abroad. The Aliens Act stipulates that the first temporary residence permit must
  be obtained before entering the country, as the residence permit issued constitutes
  the authorisation to enter and reside in the country. With regard to the initiative
  on the service of residence permit cards also on proxies, we would like to clarify
  that the Aliens Act determines where and to whom the residence permit card is to
  be served. For example, Article 37 of the Act, which lays down the conditions for
  issuing a temporary residence permit for employment or work, provides that an application
  for a temporary residence permit for employment or work may be submitted by the
  alien himself or by his employer, who may also carry out other acts in the procedure
  in accordance with the alien''s authorisation, but it is expressly provided that
  the employer cannot be served with the residence permit card, but that it shall
  be served personally on the alien. We would also like to point out that in proceedings
  with aliens, the Act on General Administrative Procedure (ZUP) applies subsidiarily,
  which means that certain elements of the administrative procedure are laid down
  differently from those laid down in the ZUP, one of such arrangements being the
  direct personal service of the issued decision (residence permit) in the procedure
  for issuing a residence permit. Such a method of service on foreigners is necessary
  in order to ensure public order and security and to ensure submission to the legal
  order of the Republic of Slovenia during the foreigner''s stay in the country.'
