Where to renew or replace a driving licence in Poland

The licence is issued by the transport department for your address

The licence is replaced by the transport department of the city or county office for your address. Some offices hand out tickets at a dedicated counter, others want a reservation online or by phone, and some start you at an information desk. Medical certificates for time-limited licences are another point where offices go their own way.

  • Białystok

    Departament Obsługi Mieszkańców — Referat Praw Jazdy

    ul. Branickiego 3/5, II piętro — sala 210, 15-085 Białystok

    Book a visit to replace an expiring licence, and ask whether you need a medical certificate.

    Prepare the double-sided A4 application, a copy of the licence being replaced, identity document, compliant colour photograph and payment evidence. Include a medical certificate where required. Postal delivery has separate conditions and charges; ask before choosing it. The fee covers the document, not a medical appointment.

  • Bielsko-Biała

    Urząd Miejski w Bielsku-Białej — Wydział Komunikacji

    pl. Ratuszowy 6, 43-300 Bielsko-Biała

    Apply in person, by post or through a representative, and hand in your old licence when you collect the new one.

    Prepare the application, a 35 × 45 mm colour photo taken within six months, ID, licence copy and payment evidence. Add medical and, for applicable heavy-vehicle categories, psychological certificates where required. Foreign nationals also need lawful-stay documents and address registration or a tenancy agreement, with originals for inspection.

  • Bydgoszcz

    Urząd Miasta Bydgoszczy — Referat Praw Jazdy

    ul. Grudziądzka 9–15, Budynek A, pokój 113, Bydgoszcz

    Get a replacement card after loss, damage or changed personal details, with a visit booked online.

    Bring the application, a 35 × 45 mm photo taken within six months, ID and payment proof. Include a loss declaration where relevant, or a copy and original of the damaged or outdated document. Foreign nationals need residence-right evidence. Medical or psychological certificates are required only where applicable; confirm your case before arranging examinations.

  • Bytom

    Urząd Miejski w Bytomiu – Wydział Komunikacji

    ul. Parkowa 2, 41-902 Bytom

    Start at the information desk, where staff check your documents and hand you the application form.

    Prepare form SK-1.1, identity document for inspection, a compliant colour 35×45 mm photograph taken within six months, proof of payment and the previous driving document where relevant. Medical and psychological opinions are required only where applicable to your case. Check those requirements before arranging tests. For collection, bring the old driving licence and identification personally; ask the department what to do if the old document is unavailable. A foreign-licence conversion needs its own eligibility and document assessment. Ask the information point for the current application and required residence declaration. Older printed forms may still be accepted with a supplemental declaration during a transition period; ask the office which form applies. Meet the residence conditions and submit the current declaration no later than collection or the planned postal dispatch, where that route is allowed. Some theory-test cases require this by the exam day; confirm which deadline applies with the department.

  • Chorzów

    Urząd Miasta Chorzów — Referat Komunikacji, prawa jazdy

    Rynek 1, I piętro, pokój 133, 41-500 Chorzów

    Walk in and take a ticket at the driving licence counter to renew or update your details.

    Prepare form 11, two-sided copy and original licence, ID, payment proof and a 35 × 45 mm photo taken within six months. The checklist includes medical evidence and psychological evidence for specified heavy-vehicle/bus categories or tram permission; confirm which applies to expiry or a data-only change before arranging examinations. A representative needs written authority; the PLN 17 authority-document charge has close-family exemptions. You can also send originals by post or deliver a sealed envelope marked Referat Komunikacji at ground-floor room 2.

    Urząd Miasta Częstochowy – Referat Komunikacji

    Prepare driving-licence form F-SO0611, a compliant colour 35×45 mm photograph taken within six months and proof of payment. If replacing a damaged document or changing details, include a copy of the licence you hold. Bring identity evidence for inspection and a medical opinion if your medical examinations are no longer current. Do not select the separate driver-qualification-card form F-SO0612 for an ordinary driving-licence duplicate. A representative needs authority; the PLN 17 power-of-attorney duty has exemptions including a spouse, ascendants, descendants and siblings.

Ask which medical or psychological certificate is required for the validity change. Issue fee: PLN 100, separate from examinations. Bring the previous licence when collecting the changed document.

    Prepare the application, payment proof, a colour photo 35 × 45 mm taken within six months, a copy of both sides of your licence and the required certificate from an authorised medical examiner.

It quotes up to ten working days from ordering the new licence, not from submitting an incomplete application.

Medical evidence is conditional on the relevant validity change; psychological evidence concerns the specified heavy-vehicle and bus categories where applicable.
