Poland's digital services expansion and reforms
Entities: Polish government · Ministry of Development and Technology · Ministry of Climate and Environment · Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa · Polish citizens
Overview
Poland’s state‑run digital ecosystem continued to broaden through mid‑2026. By late June the mObywatel app served roughly 12 million users, offering about 90 public services and adding a mandatory digital diploma function (effective 1 January 2027) and a “Firma” module for sole‑proprietors. A public‑health‑hazards reporting tool was also introduced. On 1 July the National Tax Administration launched the eLicytacje KAS portal, centralising auction notices from all 366 tax offices and enabling cash‑less purchases of seized assets; regional courts began feeding local seized‑asset listings into the platform.
The education sector joined the push via the NAVOICA platform, hosting over 800 interactive courses and virtual campus tours. In mid‑July the Justice Ministry unveiled the Deregulacja 2.0 reform, digitising court procedures with e‑files, remote hearings and two‑factor authentication blocks against Russian and Belarusian traffic. The Future Council presented long‑term recommendations for technological sovereignty, calling for systematic assessment of foreign‑technology dependence and expanded funding for AI, space, biotech and quantum research.
New developments followed. On 5 August 2026 the Ministry of Digitalisation required all mObywatel users to log in, triggering automatic renewal of security certificates for digital documents such as the electronic ID, school IDs and driving licences; failure to do so will cause certificates to lapse. The government also expanded its reform agenda: the e‑Licytacje portal was highlighted alongside a draft amendment allowing landlords emergency entry into rented flats, an expansion of the “Czyste Powietrze” subsidy scheme, a redefinition of balconies and terraces as common‑property areas, advancement of the UC‑100 extended‑producer‑responsibility bill, and a re‑classification of short‑term holiday rentals as hotel services subject to municipal registers.
