Temporary passport for an adult

Where to apply?

You can apply for a temporary passport at any Polish consular post. Please remember that you will apply for and collect your new temporary passport at the same consular post.

Do I have to submit the documents in person?

Temporary passport applications must be submitted in person.

How to book an appointment?

You can book your appointment to apply for a temporary passport via the e-konsulat

PLEASE NOTE: In an emergency (for example, in case of a death of a family member, sudden illness, lost or stolen documents and the need to urgently return to the place of permanent residence), call a consular post or send an e-mail describing your situation and attach the supporting documents. Please remember to specify your given name, surname, place of residence outside Poland and a phone in the e-mail.

What documents do I need to submit?

During your appointment at the consular post, you will make an electronic application for a child’s passport to be issued by a Polish consul. A consular employee will fill in the electronic form, and you will confirm the accuracy of the data by signing on the designated device (Signature Pad).

•    A biometric colour photo—read what the photo should look like.

PLEASE NOTE: You must attach a photo to the application. If you do not attach the photo or if it does not meet the requirements, the consul will not accept your application.

•    A valid passport or ID card (if issued) confirming your identity and Polish nationality.

NOTE: In case of reasonable doubts as to your identity, nationality or other details necessary to file the passport application, the consul may request that you submit additional documents.

REMEMBER! If you are planning to travel abroad with the temporary passport, check the current rules of entry and stay of foreigners in the country of destination. Make sure that you can cross the border with the temporary passport and check the required validity period (at entry and departure). 

How much does it cost?

The fee for issuing a temporary passport while you wait for the biometric passport is EUR 20,00.

The fee for a temporary passport issued for other purpose than to cover the biometric passport delivery time is: EUR 50,00.

 EUR 20,00 – in office hours,

Fees are collected at the cash desk of the consular office when you file the application. The fee is charged in cash in EURO currency.

What is the waiting time?

You will receive the temporary passport as soon as possible

How to collect the temporary passport?

You must collect your temporary passport in person. Arrange the collection date of your temporary passport with the consul.

 PLEASE NOTE: The consul does not send passports to persons staying outside the consular district in which the application was filed.

How to appeal?

If the consul issues a decision refusing to issue a passport to you, you can appeal the decision through the consul to the minister competent for internal affairs.

You may not appeal a decision refusing to issue a passport document if the decision was made on request of a court or another authority conducting proceedings.
