As of the beginning of 2026, Poland has raised all consular fees for document processing for citizens abroad. The new tariffs apply to visas, passports, notarial actions, and other services in Polish consulates around the world. This is reported by InPoland.
Poland's consular fees as of January 1, 2026: new tariffs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland explained that the rates have not been reviewed for at least ten years, and some have not been updated since 2013. During this time, labor costs and the maintenance of consular departments have significantly increased.
As of January 1, the following updated fees are in effect:
-
issuance of a temporary passport — from 50 to 200 euros (previously 40 euros)
-
issuance of a second passport — 280 euros (was 220 euros)
-
acceptance and processing of an application for a national visa — 200 euros (was 135 euros)
-
issuance of a temporary EU travel document — 50 euros (was 40 euros)
-
certification of signature — 35 euros (was 25 euros)
-
drafting of a notarial deed — 80 euros (was 60 euros).
Increase in the cost of consular services: what else has changed
Differentiated fees for expedited or after-hours procedures have also been introduced. Specifically:
-
issuance of a temporary passport outside of working hours — 100 euros
-
issuance of a temporary passport on a holiday — 200 euros.
The highest rate in the new price list concerns the drafting of a notarial deed with a discharge — as of January 1, 2026, this service costs 400 euros, whereas in December, its price was 260 euros.
The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the increased fees apply to all applications submitted from January 1, 2026. Mid-year, the tariffs are planned to be reviewed to assess their impact on the accessibility of consular services and the financial burden on citizens.
It should be noted that Poland may face a shortage of labor due to the potential emigration of around 650,000 Ukrainians.
