Offices that issue the Polish ID card

Bring your existing ID or valid passport; the office can use another photo document to establish identity and citizenship. The mObywatel document cannot establish identity for this application. Supply one compliant 35×45 mm colour photograph taken within six months. For online submission use the required digital photograph and complete the physical signature and fingerprint step within 30 days. Do not assume that starting online completes an adult application.

Bring a compliant colour photograph and a valid identity card or passport. If neither is available, ask about alternative identity verification; mObywatel alone is not accepted for this check. Staff prepare the application at the counter, so no paper form is needed. Bring your previous card when collecting unless its loss was reported.

Bring a 35 × 45 mm colour photograph taken within six months and your previous ID, even if expired, or the alternative identification the city accepts, such as a valid passport. mDowód cannot establish identity for this application. Bring originals of any supporting documents attached online. For serious illness or disability preventing attendance, ask about a visit at your location on +48 52 585 82 47; ordinary proxy collection is not available in every situation.

Bring ID/passport or the accepted alternative and one 35 × 45 mm photo taken within six months. Extra civil-status/citizenship evidence may be requested to resolve inconsistent records. An electronic start does not remove attendance: applicants aged 12 and over must attend for signature capture within 30 days or the application may be left unconsidered. Confirm biometric and appointment arrangements. Special proxy collection is an exception for qualifying applications taken outside the office, not a general alternative. For a child, also prepare the applying adult’s ID, the child’s existing document if held and evidence of guardianship/curatorship where relevant. Do not apply the adult personal-collection rule to a young child: a parent or guardian collects under the age-specific rules.
