Offices for fingerprints and residence card pickup in Poland

Some branches serve only their own cases, so check before you travel

Residence cards come from the foreigners’ department of a regional government office, and some regions also run branches in other towns. Choose a city to see whether its office works with online booking, queue tickets or a date agreed by phone, and what to bring.

    For biometrics bring the summons, original valid passport and the originals or missing evidence requested for your case. For collection bring a valid identity document and attend personally; a minor must attend with a legal guardian. Do not assume an authorised representative can collect an adult foreign national’s card. Check the specific instructions if age, health or another statutory exception affects attendance.
