Before you start carrying passengers, your fleet partner must check your criminal record and keep the certificate on file. Platforms usually accept a certificate issued within the last 30 days.
Online via e-KRK — 20 zł

- Pay 20 zł online.
- Download the certificate — often the same day, sometimes within minutes.
An electronic certificate is as valid as a paper one. Send your manager the file itself, not a printout.
At a KRK office — 30 zł
You can apply at a National Criminal Register (KRK) information office at a court. Bring an ID. The fee is 30 zł and you often get the certificate the same day. This is the way to go if you don’t have profil zaufany.
When to order it
