Polen i Norge

If you are abroad, report a lost or damaged ID card immediately in a Polish consular office.

Honorary consuls do not accept reports of lost ID cards.

Report a lost or damaged ID card personally at a consular office or in writing via post or fax.

You do not have to book an appointment.

• A filled in report form for lost or damaged ID card - the form can be downloaded below or is available at a consulate,
• an ID card - if you report its damage,
• other identity document, for example a passport - if you have one

Making the report is free.

The consul will accept your report of lost or damaged ID card immediately.

If you report lost or damaged ID card personally at a consular office, you will receive an appropriate certificate.

If you send a letter or a fax - make sure you state in the form that you want to receive the certificate, for example by post.

Keep the certificate - it may be useful. It remains valid until a new ID card is issued but no longer than 2 months.

Please note, the certificate you will receive at the consulate is not an identity document.

Your ID card will be cancelled on the day you report its loss or damage with the consul.

Does not apply.

Can I apply for an ID card in a consular office?

The consul does not issue ID cards. A personal ID application form can only be submitted in any commune office in Poland.

I lost my passport and ID card and I have to return to Poland. Can the consul issue a document authorising me to cross the border?

In this case you can apply for a temporary passport. If you want to know what documents are required, go to the temporary passports part of this website.
