Profil Zaufany
‣ Profil Zaufany: Your Digital Signature in Polish Offices
At Laut, we offer comprehensive support in setting up a Profil Zaufany (Trusted Profile) – a free tool that confirms your identity in public administration systems.
Why is Profil Zaufany essential for a foreigner?
For foreigners residing in Poland, Profil Zaufany has become a key tool, especially in the context of legalizing your stay:
- Access to the Case Management Module (MOS): This is currently the most important feature. Only by having a Profil Zaufany can you fully use the mos.cudzoziemcy.gov.pl portal, where you can electronically fill out and submit applications for a residence card (karta pobytu) (temporary residence, permanent residence, EU long-term resident).
- ePUAP: Submitting applications, letters, and appeals to city, commune, and ministerial offices.
- PUE ZUS: Access to your social insurance, contributions, and the ability to apply for benefits (e.g., 800+).
- Internet Patient Account (IKP): Access to prescriptions, referrals, and medical history.
- Twój e-PIT: Filing annual taxes online in a few minutes.
- Registration (Meldunek) and Certificates: The ability to register your address or download a clean criminal record certificate via the internet.
What is required to set up a Profil Zaufany?
To successfully complete the registration process, please prepare:
- PESEL Number – a necessary identifier in the Polish system.
- Valid identity document – a passport or residence card.
- An active email address.
- A Polish mobile phone number.
- Access to electronic banking in a Polish bank (the fastest method) OR the ability to visit a confirmation point in person (e.g., Tax Office, ZUS).
Advantages and possibilities – what do you gain?
- Time saving: Forget about queues in offices. You can handle most matters 24/7.
- Security: Your data is protected, and every operation requires authorization (similar to a bank transfer).
- Free access: Setting up and using Profil Zaufany is completely free.
- Validity: The profile is issued for 3 years, with the possibility of easy extension.
