Polish Translation: Przysiegly for Karta Pobytu, Nostrification 2026

Polish destination authorities, by case

Karta Pobytu czasowego (temporary residence) and Karta Pobytu stałego (permanent residence) for skilled-employment Indian applicants go through the voivodeship office of the planned-residence region. Mazowieckie (Warsaw) and Małopolskie (Krakow) handle most India-applicant volume; Pomorskie (Gdansk), Wielkopolskie (Poznan), Dolnośląskie (Wroclaw), and Łódzkie (Lodz) handle the rest. Current 2026 wait times for voivodeship Karta Pobytu appointments: 6 to 16 weeks depending on voivodeship and submission month; we plan against the appointment date, not the calendar.

EU Blue Card for highly-qualified employment requires demonstrated higher education and a gross monthly salary at least 1.5 times the Polish average gross. The Blue Card processing runs through the same voivodeship office. Documents: degree certificate (State HRD + MEA apostille), transcripts (HRD or SDM as document type asks), Indian work-experience certificates (notary + SDM + MEA), Indian PCC (PSK + MEA), employment contract with Polish employer, all translated to Polish by tłumacz przysięgły. Specialised IT/STEM categories have faster Blue Card timelines.

Polish university nostrification through the destination university's study department. Most Polish universities run a 4-to-12-week academic recognition process; Charles University Prague has reciprocal recognition agreements with several Indian universities that shorten the process for specific Indian institutions. We confirm the destination Polish university's specific nostrifikácia requirement at intake, including whether course-content translation is required alongside transcript translation.

Polish healthcare chamber registration (Okręgowa Izba Lekarska for doctors, Okręgowa Izba Pielęgniarek i Położnych for nurses) for Indian medical and nursing graduates. The chamber-side process typically requires B2 or C1 Polish language proficiency demonstrated through state-recognised certification (egzamin certyfikatowy) plus chamber-specific competency evaluation. Medical graduates may additionally require Lekarski Egzamin Końcowy (LEK) examination. Our documentary work is the precondition; the language certification and chamber examination sit with the candidate.

Polish civil registry (urząd stanu cywilnego) for Indian-Polish marriage registration, Indian-born child birth registration, or civil-status recognition runs at the relevant Polish municipality. Common Polish urząd stanu cywilnego freshness rule for marriage-supporting documents: single status affidavit within 6 months of execution; marriage certificate for Polish-side recognition within 6 to 12 months. We work backward from the urząd stanu cywilnego appointment date.

You can't mess with people's Original documents on a Poland case. The MBBS or BSc Nursing degree someone earned at AIIMS Delhi, IIT Madras, Kasturba Medical College Manipal; the marriage certificate from a Mumbai sub-registrar; the PCC from PSK Bangalore; we log each at intake with a Customer ID and a Document ID, photograph the apostille and pre-MEA seal before dispatch, and use Blue Dart, DHL, FedEx, DTDC Premium, or UPS for the inter-city and international legs. We do not use Porter, Wefast, Borzo or similar third-party parcel apps for Poland-bound documents that cross the international courier to a tłumacz przysięgły in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Gdansk, Wroclaw, or Lodz and come back hard-copy for voivodeship submission.
