Offices that issue the Polish ID card

Apply in any city, then collect where you applied

Because you may apply at any municipal office in Poland, you can choose a city that is close to home or work. Each office explains how its ID card counter works, whether you book online, take a ticket or walk in, and what to have with you, such as your current card or passport and a suitable photo. You normally collect the finished card at the same office.

    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.
