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.

    The same form also offers a different language test, so make sure you choose the state exam.

    Bring a valid passport or residence card and a black pen, following the school’s instructions. The form asks for the number and series of the document you will bring, so check the details against that original. Ask the centre how to register if you have no PESEL (Polish national identification number); the instructions request it with payment confirmation but do not explain that case. Arrange any accommodations with the centre and confirm certificate collection after passing.
