Legally, the sky belongs to everyone. Emotionally, this piece is yours alone.

The Sky Bureau is a fictional institution. This certificate is a novelty gift and confers no legal claim to the sky.

For €12 the Bureau names the parcel after the town and the date of entry is the day you pay. Your own name for the parcel and your own date start at €19.

You choose the place and write one line of dedication. The rest is paperwork: a parcel in the name you give, a seal, a certificate of title.

The sky belongs to everyone. The Bureau parcelled it out and keeps a register of who holds which place, and why.

In your hands: a certificate of title with seal, to print and hand over · a gift link with the ceremony · an entry in the Public Register.

Public Register

JUST RAISE YOUR PHONE TO THE SKY

It works in the evening and at night too: it goes by the compass and the tilt of the phone, not by what can be seen — it shows the direction even from indoors.

A recording from a phone, unedited. The hexagons are parcels of sky; the gold one is the registered parcel.

On the screen there is a viewfinder, a compass and the parcel exactly where it is. Not a dot on a map. In a week, in a year, from the balcony; from abroad at least the direction and how many kilometres away it is.

From the official clauses on the certificate:

§38Duty to Look Up. The holder is required to look up at the parcel at least once. Non-compliance is not fined; the Bureau records it as a wasted opportunity.

OFFICIAL NOTICE OF OVERFLIGHT

The entry is not the end of the proceedings. The Bureau keeps a calendar of what goes on above the parcels — meteor showers, full moons, eclipses, conjunctions — and the day before, it sends a notice to the holder who asked for it and confirmed. One message per phenomenon, and only about what will occur above that parcel.

From the notice the Bureau issued for a solar eclipse:

The Bureau announces a scheduled outage of the Sun. Attendance of the celestial bodies is assured; the weather is not administered by the Bureau.

The holder starts the subscription at the end of the ceremony, with an address of their own; the Bureau then asks once more before it sends anything, and a single click in any message ends it. The nearest overflights also stand on the parcel's public entry in the register.

THE CEREMONY: GIFTS TAKE THREE SECONDS TO UNWRAP. THIS ONE OPENS OVER THREE MINUTES

A sample ceremony — tap through it as the recipient would.

The ceremony on a phone, first act: a sealed file bearing the recipient's name and a Break the seal button.
Seal
  1. A sealed file opens on the phone — already in the recipient's name. In the browser, no app. They fill in nothing: they break the seal with a tap.
  2. They read your sentence.
  3. They see the place on the map.
  4. And the certificate unrolls — in the recipient's name.
  5. And then the phone to the sky — even the next day from the balcony: viewfinder, compass, parcel.

Just the two of you at the table, or in front of the whole family — as you like. And you get to watch: that is the other half of the gift. At the table the ceremony ends with the certificate on the phone; the phone raised to the sky is for any time after that — the next day, outdoors, whenever.

REASON FOR ENTRY IN THE REGISTER

The file has one box the Bureau cannot fill in. You write it, in your own words — and the recipient reads it first, before the coordinates, before the seal. The Bureau does not check it, correct it or cut it short; it merely sets it in a ruled box and stamps it, as though the whole proceeding turned on it.

If you do not know how to begin, the form keeps a few openings ready.

WHERE TO START IF YOU DO NOT KNOW

The worst choice is a beautiful place that has nothing to do with the recipient. The best is a dull place that has a great deal to do with them. The duller the place, the better the story.

  • Mum or dad — the sky above the garden they see from the window every day.
  • A friend — the cottage, the campsite, the mountains: the place they talk about all year.
  • Where you met — a bus stop, a stairwell, an office. It does not have to be pretty.
TAKING POSSESSION
I.
Pick out a parcel

On the map of the sky, anywhere in the world — above a first kiss, a cottage or Point Nemo. The parcels the Bureau entered for itself when it opened are worth the detour.

II.
The Bureau processes it

A Decision on Allotment, a certificate of title with seal and QR code, an envelope to print. All by e-mail within minutes; the red tape rustles quietly.

First an official letterhead and a case number — and for a moment it is not clear what anyone wants from whom. Then the box marked Reason for entry in the register, and your sentence in it. And last, a phone raised to the sky and the hexagon now held in the recipient's name.

In precisely that order. The Bureau insists on it.

The Bureau handles the formalities. Anyone can promise the moon — the sky itself is yours to deliver.

CERTIFICATE, ENVELOPE, CEREMONY

None of this is an artist's impression. This is the certificate the Bureau issues — printed from the very files that will produce yours.

Preview of a Sky Bureau summons for handover — an official A4 summons to receive the sky bearing the summoned person's name, a table of place and time, a large official code and a DELIVER IN PERSON stamp.
The envelope to hand overAn official call to receive the sky. You print it, fold it and hand it over — the official code opens the ceremony.The envelope is folded in three. The seal is printed; you need no wax.

A specimen file. Yours will bear your name, your parcel and your dedication.

Two codes, two paths: the official code on the envelope opens the ceremony, and the QR on the certificate leads to the parcel's public extract in the register. The recipient starts with the envelope — the certificate unrolls at the end of the ceremony.

The Bureau warrants the authenticity of the sky. It does not warrant the weather (§5(2)).

Last entry on the register: Nebe nad Zlatou hvězdou — 19 Sep 2026. Public Register

The register holds only what you write in the Holder box yourself — a first name or initials will do —, the name of the parcel, the case number and the coordinates of the parcel's centre. The dedication, your name and your e-mail are never published. And if you would rather not have even a first name in the register, you tick that in the order — the parcel is then held with no holder named.

Small preview of a Sky Bureau certificate of title — an official A4 sheet with seal, case number and QR code.
CERTIFICATE OF TITLEEvery form ends with this: a certificate of title with seal, case number and a QR code to the public register.

All areas contain the same sky. It is the ceremony of the entry that differs, not the extent of the universe.

QUESTIONS THE BUREAU RECEIVES
Will it look cheap?

The certificate is an A4 PDF: seal, case number, coordinates, your sentence and the official clauses. You print it at home on ordinary paper and it fits a frame that costs very little. The ceremony on the phone takes three minutes, and neither of them looks cheap — unlike a bouquet, this one can go on the wall.

What do I get in my hands, and when?

Within minutes of payment an e-mail arrives: the certificate as a PDF, an envelope to print and a link — the same one that is in the QR code. The Bureau posts nothing. With no printer, the Bureau sends the link by e-mail on the day you choose.

Is this a real public authority?

It is not — and that is the one sentence you will never hear from a star seller. What is real is the place, the name on the certificate and the sentence you write. The sky belongs to everyone; the Bureau keeps a register of who holds which place, and why.

Handled by The Sky Bureau. Seriously. Stamps and all.

WHAT THE PROCEEDINGS COVER

The Bureau registers entries for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, proposals of marriage and Christmas. No other reason is required: “no particular reason” is a reason in full standing and is processed with the same gravity.

THE BUREAU'S WORLD REGISTER

The sky really is parcelled out. Every glowing point is a parcel on the Bureau's register — official entries and entries in someone's name — above cafés, cottages and the middle of the ocean. The more people want one place, the more that place means.

On the register: 334 parcels

Inspection of the register is free and requires no entry: See what is above your place — free of charge

Office hours of the sky: continuous. Public holidays included.

DECREE OF THE DAY
§26(1)Wishes

Wishes spoken beneath the parcel are recorded by the Bureau, not processed. Fulfilment of wishes falls to another department whose office hours are unknown.

Posted for one day.

FOR COMPANIES: AN EMBLEM DRAWN IN PARCELS OF SKY

The Department of Arms and Emblems sets a company logo in parcels of sky above its offices and spreads the names of its people across the parcels. Invoice with company number, payable in 14 days.

The Sky Bureau is not a public authority. In law the sky belongs to everyone — in the heart, to her alone.
