How to obtain Profil Zaufany?
The process is quite simple and does not take much time.
Follow these steps:
Register on the gov.pl website.

Verify your identity.
After registering, you need to verify your identity. You have two options:
Online via bank. If you have an account in a Polish bank (e.g., PKO, mBank, ING, and others), you can verify your identity directly on the site. Just choose your bank, log into your account, and the verification will be completed.
In person at the office. If you do not have a Polish bank account, choose the in-person verification option. After registering on the website, you will be sent a code. Make an appointment, bring your passport and PESEL (if available), and the office employee will verify your data.
After verification, Profil Zaufany will be activated, and you will have access to all online services in Poland.
