Passport offices across Poland

Each passport office has its own routine for applicants

Passport offices are part of the regional government offices, and each one has its own routine. Some work with online reservations, others also give out queue tickets that can run out late in the day, and some offer special arrangements for people with limited mobility. Where the finished passport is handed over also depends on the office.

  • Białystok

    Podlaski Urząd Wojewódzki — obsługa cudzoziemców i uzgodniona obsługa paszportowa

    ul. Mickiewicza 3, Parter — sala cudzoziemców; uzgodniona obsługa paszportowa przy wejściu głównym, 15-213 Białystok

    If you have mobility difficulties, phone ahead to book the Wednesday morning service by the main entrance.

    Bring your valid Polish identity card or passport if one has been issued, a compliant colour passport photo taken within the last six months, and original evidence of any fee reduction or exemption. The photo is 35 × 45 mm with a clear, front-facing image on a plain light background. Ask the office what is needed if you have no valid identity document or your personal details conflict. Fingerprints and a signature are normally taken during the adult application. Keep the receipt and check readiness before collection; bring your existing valid passport for cancellation when collecting its replacement. Do not assume a booking guarantees a document before your trip. Tell the office what access assistance you need when arranging the visit. Ask which payment method and collection arrangement apply at this alternative point; do not expect an ordinary daily passport counter here.
