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.
