Qualified electronic signature

A qualified electronic signature is the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature, carrying the same legal power as a signature on paper. It is a form of electronic signature that is fully recognized by Polish authorities, courts, and public administration.

It is issued by a certified provider and is based on a digital certificate assigned to a specific person.

At getsix®, we offer full support in obtaining a qualified electronic signature in cooperation with one of Poland’s leading trust service providers:

  1. On-site appointment – signature in 1 day (recommended): identity verification at our office, certificate issued the same day, full IT support.
  2. Remote procedure: possible without an in-person meeting but requires a notary visit abroad and takes longer.

Obtaining a qualified electronic signature in Poland can seem complicated – especially for individuals who are not Polish citizens, do not speak the language, or are unfamiliar with local administrative procedures. That’s why we offer a service that simplifies and speeds up the entire process – from start to finish. With our help, you can obtain your signature without unnecessary paperwork, without stress, and without the risk of errors.

The exact documentation depends on the incorporation method and ownership structure. Additional documents concerning individuals or entities participating in the company structure may be required where foreign shareholders are involved.

Can you set up a company in Poland without travelling to Poland?

Yes. In many cases, a company can be established in Poland without the investor being physically present at every stage of the process. Whether the registration can be completed remotely depends on the incorporation method, the documents required and how those documents must be signed.

Where foreign shareholders are involved, powers of attorney or additional documents prepared outside Poland may also be required. It is therefore worth determining in advance which stages of the process can be completed remotely.

Does the choice of bank matter when setting up a company in Poland?

Yes, selecting a bank for the company’s business account is an important part of the company registration process. Banks differ in their procedures, the availability of English or German-speaking customer service, and the time required to open an account. It is advisable to choose a bank that offers modern online banking and an efficient onboarding process in order to avoid unnecessary delays and complications. One of the formal requirements for conducting business activity in the form of a company in Poland is having a bank account opened with a Polish bank. Accounts held with institutions such as Revolut or other foreign fintech providers are not accepted.

Which company form is worth choosing in Poland?

The most commonly chosen legal form by foreign investors is the limited liability company (sp. z o.o.), due to its simple structure, limited liability of shareholders, and transparent operational rules. As an alternative to forming a company, foreign entrepreneurs may also consider establishing a branch or representative office, and in some cases – a tax presence (permanent establishment) may be appropriate. The right choice of legal form depends primarily on the operational model, presence on the Polish market, and the planned scope of activities.

Does a company need to have a registered office address in Poland?

Yes. Every company must have a registered office address (business registration address) located within the territory of Poland in order to be entered into the National Court Register (KRS). This address is used for official correspondence and appears in public records. It can be either a physical office or a virtual office that complies with all formal requirements. Without an address, it is not possible to register the company or start operations, which is why choosing one should be part of the planning stage of the company formation process.

What are the typical costs of setting up a company in Poland?

The costs of setting up a company in Poland depend on the legal form, the method of registration, and any optional additional services such as a virtual office, accounting support, or powers of attorney. Standard charges include notary and court fees, translations, and mandatory registration fees. Before starting the registration process, it is advisable to define the scope of business activity and the expected level of formal support. This will help avoid unforeseen expenses.

How long does it take to register a company in Poland?

The standard time for registering a company in Poland is up to several weeks, depending on the selected legal form and formal requirements. Registering a company via a notarial deed allows for more flexibility in shaping the articles of association but requires more documentation and additional coordination. The company is still registered with the National Court Register (KRS), but the process must be preceded by a notarial act. The total timeline also depends on the completeness of documents and the client’s level of cooperation.

Do I need to be physically present in Poland to register a company?

No. Company registration in Poland can be carried out entirely remotely using a notarized power of attorney. Founders do not need to travel to Poland if they authorize a representative to act on their behalf. All necessary steps – including signing the notarial deed, registration in the National Court Register (KRS), and obtaining a NIP (tax identification number) and REGON (statistical number), can be completed without physical presence.

Can a foreigner set up a company in Poland?

Yes. Natural persons and legal entities from most countries – including EU and many non-EU jurisdictions – are legally allowed to set up and fully own a company in Poland. The most commonly chosen legal structure is a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.), which offers flexibility and limited shareholder liability. Shareholders and directors do not need to be Polish citizens or residents.
