Setting Up a Profil Zaufany (Trusted Profile) in Poland
Document Checklist
numer PESEL
A PESEL number
Why it is needed: A hard prerequisite — you cannot create a Trusted Profile without one. Obtain the PESEL number first, then set up the profile.
Eligibility rule: Available to anyone who is at least 13 years old, holds a PESEL number, and has full or limited legal capacity
Getting the PESEL number is a separate procedure documented under PESEL registration.
Your identity data
Purpose: Your full name and PESEL number as held in the population register; the confirmation method you choose verifies the profile against this data
A mobile phone number
Purpose: The profile uses an SMS authorisation code as a second factor when you log in; keep the registered number current
