Processing Fees

The standard fee of issuing a passport is $163 and temporary passports cost around $75. To collect your passport, you will have to return to the same office where it was “lodged” (your application was filed).

Lost Passports

• If you are abroad, you must report a lost Polish passport to a consular office immediately
• Go to a consulate office and fill out a “lost passport” form, invalidating your passport. If you find your passport, you may not use it — using the passport may lead to repercussions
• In the case that a passport is lost, you can be issued a temporary passport to either leave a foreign country to return to Poland or to stay in Poland until a new passport is issued
