Registration of stay (Meldunek)
Meldunek is the registration at the place of your residency in Poland.
ALL students should register their place of accommodation at the Municipal Office of Łódź immediately after their arrival to Łódź, at the Population Registration Section of the Administrative Department of the Municipality.
Students who stay at the dormitory will be registered by the dorm’s administration.
Students who rent a flat in the city should ask their landlord to assist them in the registration process.
The following documents are required to obtain the registration proof:
- Passport
- Flat-to-let or buy/sell contract (for those leaving outside the dormitory)
Foreigners having the registration of stay (Meldunek) for longer than 3 months are being given the PESEL number – personal number of Public Electronic System of Population Evidence (Powszechny Elektroniczny System Ewidencji Ludności – PESEL)
PESEL numbers may be required by various Polish institutions (i.e. to conclude contracts for renting a flat, renting a car, buying internet and cable TV access etc.)
Responsibility for obtaining and maintaining legal status remains with the student.
Dormitory and School administration will assist you with the preparation of documents required to apply for registration of stay and the Residence Card.
