Łódź Voivodeship — booking an appointment and residence-card pickup
Below are the confirmed rules for booking an appointment and collecting the residence card at the voivodeship office serving Łódź Voivodeship — separately for filing the application and for collecting the finished card. Where a region has branch offices, we describe each one separately, because the way a matter is handled can differ within a single voivodeship.
You book the application appointment by phone at +48 735 956 367, on Mondays 8:00–10:00 for the following Tuesday and Thursday (the windows vary — check the current notice on the office website). You collect the finished card differently: since 9 March 2026 only after taking a ticket from the on-site ticket machine — no phone, no booking, a maximum of 40 tickets a day.
CUKR card pickup — you have 60 days
You collect the CUKR card at the same office and on the same terms as any other residence card. You file the CUKR application only online in the MOS portal — there is no appointment to file — so the office visit here is only for collecting the finished card. You collect it without booking, during office hours, after the SMS notification. After the notification you have 60 days to collect it; if you don’t collect the card within that window, you won’t obtain the temporary residence permit and the card will be invalidated. You pay the fees (100 zł for issuing the card + 340 zł stamp duty = 440 zł) together with the application — nothing is due at pickup.
