How it is actually submitted

Online, through gov.pl or mObywatel, you attach the digital file; at the municipal office you hand in the printed copy. If you wear religious headwear, add your community certificate: online it can be electronically signed or scanned, with the original handed over when you collect the card.

How to prepare

Face the camera with a natural expression, closed mouth, uncovered eyebrows and eyes fully open. Use even light without reflections on skin or hair and avoid jewellery covering the facial oval. Ears do not need to be visible.

Common rejection reasons

  • File below 492 × 633 px or above 2.5 MB
  • Photo older than six months
  • Face outside 70–80%
  • Frames covering the eyebrows or glare on the lenses
  • Headwear without the religious certificate
