Passport affairs – general information
ATTENTION!
The only way to register for a passport appointment is to sign up for the waiting list in the e-Konsulat system.
We would like to remind you that the activity of so-called intermediaries who offerappointments for passport at Polish consular office in Israel, made available by our offices in the e-Konsulat registration system, is dishonest. These intermediaries thus deprive Polish citizens of the possibility of free and direct booking of passport appointments.
We would like to inform you that Polish foreign missions do not cooperate with entities providing such services, have no connection with these entities and are not responsible for the paid offers presented by these entities on the Internet (especially in social media) to provide assistance in booking places for passport appointments.
We would like to remind you that the registration of a visit in the e-Konsulat system itself is free of charge. In turn, fees for issuing passport documents are accepted when submitting applications, at the cash desks of Polish foreign missions.
A valid passport:
- entitles its holder to cross the border and stay abroad;
- certifies Polish citizenship;
- certifies the identity of a person named in the document (with regard to the information contained in the document);
- is the property of the Republic of Poland.
A passport is valid:
- for 5 years in the case of a passport issued to a child under the age of 12;
- for 10 years in the case of a passport issued to a person aged 12 or over;
- temporary passport—its validity period depends on the circumstances justifying the issuance of the passport, but it is issued for no longer than 365 days.
A temporary passport may be issued, for instance:
- if you are staying outside Poland and are waiting to collect your passport (and you filed the application at the same consular post);
- in the event of an emergency (for example, to enable you to return to the place of your permanent residence, due to illness, funeral of a family member, or work-related matters) if you submit documents confirming the occurrence of the above circumstances, which require you to obtain the document urgently.
Remember!
Honorary consuls do not issue passports.
PLEASE NOTE: When planning to travel abroad, please check the current regulations concerning the rules of entry and stay of foreigners in the territory of the country of your destination, including the regulations concerning the required validity of the passport and whether it is possible to cross the border using the temporary passport.
