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.
