The core portals

| Portal | What it does | URL | |---|---|---| | gov.pl | Central gateway to public services | gov.pl | | ePUAP | Login and submit forms to offices online | epuap.gov.pl | | ZUS | Social insurance: contributions, pensions, sickness | zus.pl | | NFZ | Public health insurance registration | nfz.gov.pl | | Tax office (US) | Taxes, NIP, PIT filings | podatki.gov.pl | | UDSC | Residence permits and foreigner affairs | udsc.gov.pl | | CEPiK | Vehicle and driver registry | gov.pl/web/cepik | | mObywatel | Mobile ID, PESEL, documents on phone | mobywatel.gov.pl |

Logging in

Most portals accept login via:

  • Profil Zaufany — free, set up via your bank or in person.
  • Qualified electronic signature — paid, for legally binding signing.
  • eDowód — the digital ID card, for Polish citizens primarily.

Foreigners usually start with a Profil Zaufany once they have a PESEL.

Forms and language

Forms are in Polish. ePUAP lets you attach scans of documents to a case. Many offices accept English certificates with a sworn translation (tłumacz przysięgły).

Tips

  • Bookmark gov.pl and the office for your region; provincial offices (urząd wojewódzki) handle residence permits.
  • Keep PDF copies of every stamped form and receipt.

FAQ

What is a Profil Zaufany and do I need one?
Profil Zaufany (Trusted Profile) is a free way to log in to government services online, set up via your bank or in person at an office. Many foreigners set one up after receiving a PESEL.
Do these portals work in English?
Some key pages on gov.pl have English versions, but most forms are in Polish. Use a browser translator or ask a Polish speaker to help with forms.
