Legal and Administrative Support in Restoring PESEL with UKR Status After Departure from Poland
In 2022, a client received a PESEL number with UKR status under the temporary protection framework in Poland. However, after a short one-week trip to Cyprus, the status was revoked. According to Polish regulations, even brief travel outside Poland can result in the automatic loss of the UKR legal status.
In 2025 — three years after the revocation — the client contacted me seeking legal assistance to restore her PESEL number and reinstate UKR status. This required careful legal strategy, documentation, and communication with the authorities to prove eligibility and reestablish her protected status.
What Was Done in the Case?
1. Legal Review and Grounds Assessment
Thorough legal review of the client’s current situation and eligibility to restore UKR status;
Analysis of applicable laws and precedents for cases involving long-term status loss;
Establishing a legal argument to support the restoration request.
2. Application and Document Preparation
Drafted a legally justified application based on updated immigration laws;
Organized a complete document package tailored to this specific case;
Adapted documents in line with current voivodeship and registry requirements.
3. Liaison with Polish Authorities
Engaged directly with municipal and central PESEL offices for clarification and procedural guidance;
Communicated exceptions and special circumstances of the case;
Ensured correct registration flow and request tracking.
4. Final Confirmation and Reinstatement
Successfully obtained official confirmation from the PESEL registry (zaświadczenie z rejestru PESEL);
Verified reinstatement of UKR status and updated access to related benefits;
Provided continued legal support to maintain lawful presence and social entitlements.
Case Study Summary

– Direct coordination with the local registry office;
– Full documentation handled in accordance with 2025 regulations;
– Final approval confirming full UKR status reinstatement issued.
Outcome: Despite a long gap, the client’s PESEL UKR number was successfully restored, granting her full access to health care, benefits, and legal stay rights in Poland once again.
