Questions and answers
Which free residence-card tools are on this page?
On this page you will find: application fees, the biometric-photo guide, a bank comparison for foreigners, activating Profil Zaufany through your bank, and booking an office appointment in all 16 voivodeships. All are free and open without an account. Together they cover what you need to prepare before filing a residence-card application.
How do I check how much a residence card costs?
Open the "Application fees" tool, pick your procedure — the CUKR residence card, for example — and your voivodeship. It shows the exact stamp duty, your voivodeship office account number and the split into separate transfers. The rates come from Polish law and from the 16 voivodeship offices, and we update them when a rule changes.
Where can I find the photo, the fees and the application in one place?
Right here — one page covers all three. The photo guide shows how to take the shot with your phone: light, background and framing. The fee calculator gives you the exact amount and account number, and you can ask the Dopomo assistant about the residence-card application itself — the conversation is free.
Do I need an account to use the residence-card fee calculator?
No. The fee calculator, the photo guide, the bank comparison, Profil Zaufany and appointment booking all open without registration. An account is needed only where we say so explicitly — for conversation history with the assistant and a higher message limit, for example.
