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.

    Get a free first or replacement card by taking a queue ticket or booking an appointment online.

    Bring a compliant photograph and valid ID or passport. Take the existing identity card for collection. If you have no valid document, ask the office how to confirm identity; national guidance allows another photo document for the biometric visit. The office may require evidence of Polish citizenship. A change of registered address alone does not require a new card.
