Duplicate decision

You can apply for a duplicate decision if you have lost your decision issued on behalf of the Governor of Wielkopolska or if your decision has been destroyed.

You can also receive a duplicate if the letter with the decision had not reached you and we considered the delivery effective, for example:

- when you did not notify us of a change of address, we consider the decision to be delivered to your previous address,

- if the letter was notified twice by the postman and you did not pick it up by the deadline set by the Polish Post Office - it returned to our office and we consider it delivered.

The application on behalf of a minor foreigner should be submitted by the parents or court-appointed guardians, or by one of the parents or one of the court-appointed guardians.

A request for a duplicate decision should be submitted:

• by post to our ADDRESS
• at Submittion Point at the Department for Foreigners in Poznań or at one of the regional offices.

Documents required to obtain a duplicate decision:

• request for a duplicate decision with a justification of your interest to issue such a duplicate - you can use the form we have prepared for your convenience (you can download a sample form here)
• photocopy of a valid travel document (a page with your photo and data only)

You must attach proof of payment of stamp duty to the request for a duplicate decision.

The stamp duty is PLN 5 for each page of the document and is due at the time you submit your application
