Where to take the state Polish exam for your residence application

Registration rules and open sessions differ from centre to centre

Exam centres are mostly university language departments and specialised schools. Registration is handled centre by centre: some ask you to wait for a confirmation before paying, and some keep a waiting list when sessions are full.

    Confirm the original identity documents required, as the requirement varies: a passport, residence card or EU/EEA identity card, or, under the April 2026 rules, a passport and another photo ID. Request accommodations when registering. The rules say detailed instructions arrive at least seven days before the exam, and the centre may cancel a level with fewer than 10 candidates. After passing, arrange collection at the university or postage at your expense; the certificate fee is additional.
