The Bahá'í Faith in Slovakia dates from about 1916 with an appeal by `Abdu'l-Bahá that Bahá'ís should take the religion to the regions of Europe including Slovakia, then part of the empire of Austria-Hungary.

The Bahá'í Faith in Slovakia dates from about 1916 with an appeal by `Abdu'l-Bahá that Bahá'ís should take the religion to the regions of Europe including Slovakia, then part of the empire of Austria-Hungary. It is unclear when the first Bahá'ís entered Slovakia, but there were Bahá'ís in what is now Czechoslovakia by 1910. As the communist period was ending, there is evidence of activity in Slovakia starting around 1989. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991, Bahá'í communities and their administrative bodies started to develop across the region formerly under the influence of the Soviet Union, including Czechoslovakia. In 1991 Slovakia's first Bahá'í Local Spiritual Assembly was elected in Bratislava. Separate national assemblies for the Czech and Slovak Republics were formed in 1998. While registration with the national government of Slovakia is not required it is required for many religious activities as well as owning property. In 2007 representatives ofthe Bahá'í Faith submitted 28,000 signatures of supportive citizens to the government of Slovakia, gaining official recognition as a registered religious community.
