Certifying a signature

Where to apply?

Attestation of signature authenticity can be obtained in any Polish consular post.

Do I have to apply in person?

Yes, to receive attestation of signature authenticity you must appear in person at a consular post.

How to book an appointment?

You can book your appointment via the e-konsulat system.

What documents do I need to submit?

Please prepare:

  • the document, the signature on which you want to attest,
  • valid identity document (passport or personal ID).

Please note! Polish law may require certain legal actions to take the form of a notarial deed in order to be valid (e.g.: authorisation to transfer ownership of real estate or distribution agreement of estate). It is impossible for a consul to attest the signature on this kind of document.
