The 185-day residency principle
Anyone who simply buys a plastic card online is committing a crime. They must be legally registered in Poland for at least 185 days.
-
Language barriers in Poland
Official procedures at the "Wydział Komunikacji" (Polish Ministry of Communications) and driving school lessons are conducted in Polish. Without assistance, 90% of applications fail.
-
Current blocking periods
A Polish driver's license will not protect you if your court-ordered driving ban in Germany has not yet expired at the time of acquisition.
