Replacing a driving licence in Poland

This is a procedure that may be required in case of loss, theft, damage to the document or in case of changes in personal data. Before replacing your driving licence with a Polish one, you need to find out about the conditions of this process and prepare all the relevant documents. The procedure may take several weeks, after which you will receive a new driving licence valid in Poland and other EU countries.

Reasons for replacing a driving licence

There are various reasons for changing a driving licence in Poland. The most common ones include:

  • Moving to another country. If you move to Poland from another country, you may need to replace your driving licence with a local one.
  • Change of medical status. In case of changes in your medical condition that affect your ability to drive a vehicle, you may need to replace your licence. Poland is a country where this is monitored very closely, so do not hesitate.
  • Change of personal data. Changing your surname, name or other personal data requires replacing your driving licence to reflect the new information.
  • Damage. If the licence has become unusable due to damage, it must be replaced. This also includes the condition of their expiry date.
  • Loss or theft. If your licence is lost or stolen, you must apply for a replacement to avoid illegal use of the document.
