Any confirmation point will do, not only the one for your address
Different kinds of offices act as confirmation points, so a city can offer several. Pick yours to see which office it is, how to get seen, whether you take a numbered ticket and which identity document to bring, such as a residence card or passport.
Katowice
Rynek 1, 40-003 Katowice
Apply online first, then visit the information desk within two weeks with an identity card or passport.
Bring your identity card or passport and make sure your online application has been submitted. The information desk is opposite the entrance; it also offers an induction loop and access to an online sign-language interpreter.
Katowice
ul. Stanisława Kossutha 13, 40-844 Katowice
The health insurance fund’s point in Dąbrowa Górnicza has closed, and its visitors are now sent to Katowice.
Choose confirmation at a point on pz.gov.pl, submit the request and attend personally within its confirmation deadline; the national patient guide states 14 days. Bring a valid identity card or passport and have your PESEL (Polish national identification number) and request details available. Foreign nationals must also bring a document proving that a PESEL number has been assigned; a passport alone is not sufficient. Confirmation is free. Keep your password and authorisation codes private.
