INFORMATION FOR FOREIGNERS
How to start driving licence training in Poland.
A driving licence can be obtained by a person residing in Poland for at least 185 days of the year, holding a permanent residence card, or – in the case of students – a document confirming studies in Poland for at least 6 months.
According to EU Directive 2006/126/EC, a foreigner staying in Poland who is not a student and does not hold a permanent residence card must declare in writing that they are in Poland due to professional ties, or intend to stay because of a personal relationship. A personal relationship means, for example, a relationship with a partner, owning the property in which they reside, or owning the company where they work.
01
Eligibility
Confirm your residence status: 185 days per year in Poland, a permanent residence card, or a student document covering at least 6 months of study.
02
Medical examination
You need a medical certificate confirming no contraindications to driving. It can be issued only by a doctor authorised by the voivode – usually found in driver examination labs. The examination costs 200 PLN. The doctor on duty for our school: dr Artur Hering, tel. +48 502 119 743.

Registration at the office
Go to the City Hall appropriate for your place of residence, to the Driver’s Licence Section, and submit the required documents to obtain a candidate profile with an individual PKK number.
Required documents
An identity card – your ID card or passport; one photograph 3.5 × 4.5 cm; a medical report; a copy of your driving licence if you already hold one; and a completed registration application (available at the office or at our school). After submitting these documents you will receive a 20‑digit PKK number – send it to us and you can start your course.
LEARNING IN KRAKÓW
A course that works even before your Polish does.
Theory is available in a written form you can study at your own pace, and practical lessons are booked individually with instructors used to working with international students.
Our office guides you through the formalities – PKK number, medical check-up and exam registration – step by step, so nothing gets stuck in translation.
THE COURSE
How does a category B course look in Poland?
The training consists of theory and practical driving, divided into two parts.
Practical exam and the sworn translator
You must also pass a practical driving test in the presence of a certified translator, who has to be in the car during the exam and will translate from Polish into English or German whatever the examiner says. You have to arrange the translator on your own and cover the cost of translation.
