Meldunek (residence registration)
Polish residence registration for foreigners
Zameldowanie is the registration of your actual address in the PESEL register. Foreigners on long-term stay need it for PESEL, school enrolment, vehicle registration, local-government voting and TRC filings via MOS v2.0. We arrange temporary (up to 3 years) or permanent zameldowanie and issue zaświadczenia for the urząd, your bank or employer.
