- Passport or identity card of the owner
- Confirmation of crossing the state border (e.g., a stamp in the passport)
After paying the necessary duties and fees, the customs authority will issue a document confirming the customs clearance of the car.

- Customs clearance document
- Vehicle registration certificate from Ukraine
- Passport or identity card of the owner
- Proof of residence in Poland (e.g., rental agreement)
After verifying the documents, you will receive a temporary registration certificate valid for up to 30 days.
Obtaining Permanent Registration
Within 30 days of receiving the temporary registration, you must obtain permanent registration for the car in Poland. Contact the vehicle registration department of the local authority with the following documents:
- Temporary registration certificate
- Vehicle registration certificate from Ukraine
- Passport or identity card of the owner
- Proof of residence in Poland
After checking the documents and paying the necessary fees, you will receive a permanent vehicle registration certificate.
