Offices that issue PESEL numbers to non-residents in Poland

Some take bookings, some use queue tickets, many ask you to phone first

The request goes to the residents’ register desk of a commune or city office. At the desk you may have to quote the law that requires a PESEL, and whether a representative can go in your place depends on the office.

    Phone the civic affairs counter first to confirm which PESEL application and documents fit your case.

    Prepare a hand-signed PESEL (Polish national identification number) application, identity evidence supporting its details and the actual legal basis for needing the number. Current national guidance requires personal submission for applicants outside the EU, EEA/EFTA, Swiss and protected UK-withdrawal categories; it provides specified family and Polish-born-child exceptions. Confirm your exact category before appointing a representative. Incomplete applications require correction; assignment is conditional on a valid basis.
