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.

    Bring your valid travel document and previous card if issued for collection. Collection is normally personal; ask about the precise requirements for a child or an exceptional inability to attend. For replacement after changed details, loss or damage, the separate checklist calls for an application, two recent 35 × 45 mm photographs, passport copy with original available, reason-specific evidence and payment proof. The local procedure says to send that replacement application by post to Okopowa 21/27, 80-810 Gdańsk, then follow the fingerprints summons. Replacement deadlines differ: generally 14 days after the triggering change, or at least 30 days before expiry of a permanent/long-term-resident card. Confirm the correct fee and any reduction; replacing a card does not extend a temporary residence permit.
