Poland to Launch Online Car Registration by 2027

Poland is set to revolutionize vehicle registration with a fully digital system launching on January 18, 2027. This initiative, detailed by Rzeczpospolita, promises to simplify procedures for both individual car owners and businesses, marking a significant step towards a more efficient and modern administrative landscape.

The new system will leverage the existing Central Register of Vehicles and Drivers (CEPiK) and integrate with the popular mObywatel application. This dual-channel approach ensures accessibility for all users: individuals can manage their registrations via the mObywatel app, while businesses, such as leasing companies, will utilize a dedicated API for seamless integration with their own systems.

Electronic submission of the application in CEPiK will not yet mean that the vehicle registration process becomes fully digital. CEPiK will provide data from the application and attachments to the relevant starost, who will register the vehicle in the course of administrative proceedings.

Beyond mere convenience, the digital registration aims to bolster security. By providing officials with faster access to digital tools and cross-border databases within the EU, the system is expected to significantly reduce the risk of fraud associated with imported used vehicles. This is a crucial development for the Polish market, where a substantial number of used cars are imported annually.

This move is particularly beneficial for the automotive leasing and fleet management sectors, which handle a significant portion of vehicle registrations in Poland. By eliminating the need for physical visits to government offices and reducing paper-based processes, the new system promises to cut down on administrative burdens and associated costs, further streamlining operations for businesses.

The planned changes from the beginning of 2027 are to significantly automate the registration procedure, reducing the circulation of paper documents.
