The Founding Charter (Constitution) of Czech Blind United adopted by the Founding General Assembly was registered with the appropriate government authority on July 3, 1996; thus, the organization has been officially recognized.
The motto of Czech Blind United says: "We are not an organization deciding and acting on behalf of the blind; we are blind citizens deciding and acting for ourselves. We act on the following principles: self-reliance, partnership, solidarity, respect for human dignity, freedom of choice, common sense."
