Received a wezwanie (request for documents)? Step-by-step guide
The office may ask you to remedy formal or substantive deficiencies in your application. You typically have 7 days to respond — failure to do so may result in your application being left without consideration.
How a wezwanie works and what you need to do
A wezwanie do uzupełnienia braków (formal request for supplementary documents or clarifications) is a letter from the office stating that your application is incomplete or requires further explanation. The office is required to specify precisely what is missing and to set a deadline for your response — usually 7 days from the date of delivery.
The first and most important rule: respond within the deadline. If you fail to supply the missing documents or explanations in time, the office may leave your application without consideration — which means you would need to submit a new application and lose your place in the queue.
How to prepare your reply: read the wezwanie carefully and identify exactly what the office is asking for. Gather the requested documents or prepare the required explanations. Then draft a cover letter — a short letter confirming which wezwanie you are responding to, which case the enclosed documents relate to, and which attachments you are including.
The most common reasons for a wezwanie include: missing certified translations of documents into Polish, expired or illegible documents, lack of proof of registered address or employment, inconsistencies between the application form and the attachments, or a missing signature on the form.
The best way to send your reply is via e-Doręczenia — the official digital channel with legally recognised proof of delivery. This gives you certainty that the office received your letter on time and the delivery confirmation serves as your evidence. Keep copies of all documents you send and the cover letter itself.
