Did you know?
When you move to Poland, you need to register your address of residence (zameldowanie).
REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
Registration of your residence address is a legal requirement both for Polish people and foreigners. This is done in the Municipal Office and it is not the same as legalising your stay in the Voivodeship Office.
There are two kinds of the registration depending on the length of your stay:
-
Temporary residence (pobyt czasowy)
If you are staying in Poland for longer than 14 days and your plan is to go back to your home country, you need to register your temporary residence address.
In case you already have the permanent address registration in Poland, then you do not have to proceed with the temporary one.
When do you have to register?
If you are an EU citizen or national of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you have to register no later than on the 30th day of your stay in Poland. However, this only needs to be done if your plan is to stay for longer than 3 months.
Any other foreigner needs to register their temporary residence no later than in the 4th day of their stay in Poland if they are planning to stay in Poland for more than 14 days.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
- completed temporary residence registration form,
- document confirming you are entitled to stay at the place of your residence, eg. lease agreement or document certifying the legal title to the property, etc.
- passport or identity card,
- if you come from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you will need to present a valid travel document and confirmation of your permanent stay in the EU or in Poland (EU registration of stay you got from the Voivodeship Office),
- A visa for those not coming from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland
FEES
- This registration is free of charge.

Permanent residence (pobyt stały)
If you move permanently to Poland and you are an EU citizen, national of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you have to register no later than in the 30th day of your stay in Poland.
