My bank ( PKO ) says they can’t add this card in their system, it doesn’t know this type of card. They would like a karta pobytu, but as far as I know, you can only get karta pobytu if you come from out of the EU.

Hence, they can’t don’t have me as Polish resident, PKO requires a Hungarian address, and treats me as non resident…

Even in urząd miejski, once when I used it to identify myself, they were showing it to teach other, like „what the heck is this”. Seems like most people don’t know what a „zaświadczenia o zarejestrowaniu pobytu obywatela UE” is.

  1. Can’t you just use your EU passport/ID? Based on these documents they should be able to identify you and check your visitor status I think

  2. – When applying for a loan you need this card + your passport
    – When getting a phone abonament you need this card
    – When you’re registering a car you’ve just bought you need to have this card.
    – After 5 years of having this card you can apply for karta stałego pobytu obywatela UE

    Basically in other situations it’s kind of useless and your ID card or passport is enough.

  3. I’ve also heard about this card, one guy said the only time he needed it was to apply for mortgage.
