Obtaining driver certificate (code 95)

Code 95 Poland for Transport Companies: Obtaining a Driver's Certificate of Professional Competence

Consultant assists in obtaining the driver's certificate (Code 95) in Poland for your in-house drivers of categories C/C+E, D/D+E. We work with carriers who employ non-resident drivers and require a fast and error-free procedure.

What is included in the service?

1. Audit of grounds and route: kwalifikacja wstępna (initial qualification) or szkolenie okresowe (periodic training code 95).
2. Verification and formation of PKZ — profil kierowcy zawodowego (Professional Driver Profile).
3. Organization of badanie lekarskie (medical examination) and psychotesty (psychological tests) (medical and psychological certificates).
4. Registration and interaction with a training center (OSK/WORD) to complete the course.
5. Preparation of the package for the Wydział Komunikacji (Department of Motor Vehicles) to add the Code 95 to the driver's license or issue a separate certificate.
6. Official translations, apostilles/certification of documents, and if necessary — license recognition (nostrification).
7. Support in correspondence with authorities and deadline control until the result is achieved.

Reasons to use a lawyer for obtaining Code 95

• Risk reduction: rejection due to an incorrectly chosen training type or an incomplete document package costs time and money.
• Proper legalization: we combine Karta Pobytu (residence card)/visa/PESEL/Umowa o pracę (employment contract) with the requirements for professional drivers.
• Fast response: enrollment in courses, medical commissions, communication with inspectorates and authorities — without bottlenecks.
• Scalability: simultaneous processing for multiple drivers, standard checklists and performance control.

What will the lawyer do in your case?

1. Conduct an initial audit of the driver: categories, experience, citizenship, previous codes 95/courses.
2. Determine the necessary path: kwalifikacja wstępna, szkolenie okresowe, or an accelerated course.
3. Collect and verify documents: medical certificate, psychotesty, photo, proof of residence, certificates from work/registration.
4. Create/update the PKZ, submit applications and pay state fees on behalf of the client (by proxy).
5. Coordinate the schedule of classes, create an internal calendar of deadlines and control the results until the Code 95 is added.
