Address registration for foreigners
If you live in Poland, register your permanent or temporary address (stays over 3 months); it is not required if your stay will not exceed 30 days.
Key points
- According to gov.pl, register no later than the 30th day after moving into the premises where you want to register.
- A non-EU/EFTA foreigner (not a family member of such a citizen) cannot register online.
- At the office you show documents confirming your right to stay in Poland.
- You can have one permanent and one temporary registration at different addresses.
- Registering for a stay over 30 days gives you a PESEL automatically.
