What can go wrong

The loss must be reported to the starosta within 30 days. The loss declaration is made under criminal liability for false statements — do not report as lost a document you still have.

Report the loss without delay and apply for the duplicate right away — the lost document is invalidated and will not return to circulation even if found.

Legal basis

  • DU/2011/151 Act on Vehicle Drivers — the duty to report the loss and the issuance of a duplicate licence.
  • DU/2025/953 · § 1 Regulation of 9 July 2025 — the fee for issuing a licence (including a duplicate) of PLN 100.
