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.

    Follow your summons for fingerprints, and ask whether a replacement card can be handled in one visit.

    Use the checklist for your actual application or replacement reason. Keep your valid passport, existing card if available, required photographs, payment evidence and documents proving the change or replacement ground ready. Bring the originals requested in your summons. Do not use a replacement-card visit to submit a standard new permit on paper, and do not assume that a decision means a card is ready for collection.
