Poland’s state‑run digital ecosystem continued expanding through mid‑2026. The mObywatel citizen app, used by about 12 million people, added a built‑in search bar, e‑Doręczenia electronic mail, digital diplomas, e‑voting support and modules for business suspension, proxy management, travel alerts and vehicle‑insurance verification. In early August 2026, the Ministry of Digitalisation issued a critical warning that all mObywatel and mObywatel Junior users must log in by 5 August 2026 to trigger an automatic update of digital certificates protecting documents like the electronic ID (mDowód). Failure to comply would render these documents invalid, necessitating re-authentication via Trusted Profile, e‑ID, or online banking. Students using digital IDs were also required to obtain new QR codes from university dean’s offices. New security and payment features were integrated into the app, including a PESEL-blocking option to prevent unauthorized loans or credit applications without affecting medical appointments or identity validity. The app’s ePayments feature, supporting BLIK, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards, has processed over 1.41 million transactions totaling more than 133 million zł. Digital credentials for volunteer fire brigades (mLegitymacja) expanded from the Opole voivodeship to the Subcarpathian, Pomeranian, and Podlaskie regions. Additionally, local municipalities have advanced digital integration; Gmina Teresin launched the AlertOnline app for crisis and infrastructure notifications, while Gmina Pogorzela implemented the ePłatności system via mObywatel for property and agricultural tax payments. Municipalities introduced accessibility services such as Łódź’s “Mobile Officer” visits, while ZUS opened online appointment booking. The Portal Informacyjny extended electronic court deliveries nationwide and the Justice Ministry launched Deregulacja 2.0 to digitise filings, hearings and payments. Digital sovereignty measures comprised a “technological sovereignty test” for procurement, the Digital Poland Union’s new member Suntar and warnings about big-tech oligopolies.
