PESEL UKR in Poland: where to apply and what to do after arrival?
You do not need a special 'Ukraine office' for PESEL UKR. The official service is provided by a gmina or city office.
Short answer
The application is in person and free. BESSMERA can show the right type of office to search nearby while gov.pl remains the source of requirements.
What to do step by step
- 1
Check whether you qualify for PESEL with UKR status.
- 2
Prepare identity documents and other data required by the official procedure.
- 3
Find an urząd gminy or urząd miasta convenient for you.
- 4
Apply in person and keep the confirmation.
- 5
After PESEL, set up digital access and continue with healthcare, school and other tasks.
Important
If your PESEL UKR was originally granted only on a declaration without a valid travel document, check the current identity-confirmation requirements separately.
