WHAT IS A TRUSTED PROFILE?

Details on the trusted profile can be found HERE.

Trusted profile (Pol.: “Profil zaufany”) is a free tool that allows you to confirm your identity on the Internet and put your trusted signature, sign applications and submit them to public institutions. If you want to use the services of public institutions online, you need a trusted profile. To create it, you need to have a PESEL number.

With a bank account, you can create your trusted profile without leaving home, because your bank details have already been checked when you set up your bank account. Therefore, you do not have to confirm your trusted profile in person. However, if you had opened a bank account before you got a PESEL number, then you will have to visit a branch of your bank to provide your PESEL and open a trusted profile.
