Frequently asked questions

  • What is the processing time for claims for compensation to crime victims?

    The average processing time for claims for compensation to crime victims is 6–8 months.

  • Can the process be expedited?

    No, claims are processed in the order they were received.

  • Can advance compensation be paid?

    A victim may be paid advance compensation on application if the compensation decision at the State Treasury should take longer than usual due to no fault of the applicant and if the victim is entitled to substantial compensation.

  • Does the State Treasury pay interest?

    No, you can collect interest from the perpetrator through recovery proceedings, for example.

  • What is the share of compensation paid by the State Treasury concerning compensation ordered by the court?

    No stipulations on the share of compensation exist in the law. If the State Treasury should deviate from the decision of the court in their own decision, the State Treasury must provide grounds for the deviation in their decision.

  • Who can sign the application?

    The applicant, their carer, their guardian, an agent authorised by the applicant, an attorney at law or a notary public may sign the application.

  • Which appendices must be attached to the claim?

    You must attach several appendices to the claim. The necessary appendices are listed on the Compensation to crime victims page under Forms and appendices.

  • Are the contact details of the applicant disclosed to the perpetrator during the recovery process?

    No. The perpetrator will only learn the name of the applicant and the sum of the compensation paid by the State Treasury.

  • Can compensation be paid from government funds only based on a court decision delivered to the State Treasury?

    No. Compensation must be applied for from the State Treasury using the appropriate compensation claims form. The form is available on the Compensation to crime victims page under Forms and appendices.

  • If the perpetrator is unknown, can compensation be claimed from the State Treasury?

    Yes.

  • Can compensation be claimed from the State Treasury based on a decision by the district court?
