Which issues will you not be able to handle electronically through biznes.gov.pl?
The busines.gov.pl contact point is constantly expanding the base of procedures that can be handled online. Remember, however, that some procedures will require the use of other services, or for example, the use of paper documents without the possibility of sending scans.
You will not be able to complete services through the contact point:
- for which there are rules laid down by law for filing an application (e.g. CEIDG, PUE ZUS tax e-declaration - social insurance), it is necessary to use these services,
- for which there are so-called barriers to electronic communication - e.g. the regulations indicate the need to submit an application in writing or in person, it is required to attach a document, which the applicant does not have in electronic form, and attaching his scan is not allowed.
If you need to send a paper copy of your documents when communicating with the office, you should be aware that you can only attach documents in the form of an electronic copy (scan) to an application submitted electronically if it is a document issued by a public entity. Alternatively, an electronic copy of the document certified by a notary public may be used.
In the case of information which is known or can be determined by the authority itself, the authority may not require additional certificates to be attached to the application.
