The consul will send the temporary passport to the indicated address by mail or courier, ensuring the security of the document. The consul will annul the current valid passport before the new document is sent.

PLEASE NOTE: If you receive a passport by mail or courier, you must confirm the receipt of the passport and activate it via a dedicated electronic service.

• Internet access,

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

Can I get a temporary passport?

A temporary passport may be issued, for instance:

• if you are staying outside Poland and are waiting to collect your passport (if this is your wish and you apply for the temporary passport);
• 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.
