16 million Poles with Trusted Profiles

According to a tweet by the Digitization Minister Janusz Cieszyński, over 16 million Poles use the government's trusted profile service, which enables online transactions with government agencies. The service can be used to confirm an individual's identity for online services such as ePUAP, the Social Insurance Institution, and the Tax Office.

Anyone with a PESEL number and full or limited legal capacity can create a trusted profile, which is valid for three years and can be extended for another three years. The tweet also announced that the service will now allow the use of the mObywatel app as an authentication method, in addition to SMS. The free government app provides access to digital versions of documents such as ID cards, driving licenses, and e-prescriptions.
