Where to apply?

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).

Frequently asked questions

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.
