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.
