From November 1, 2026, registering a first business in Poland will be possible only online. Applicants can fill out the form in the Firma service of the mObywatel app, sign it electronically and send it directly to the Central Registration and Information on Business (CEIDG).
The CEIDG-1 application is partly pre-filled with information from government registers. Users can provide their business address, select PKD activity codes, an insurer and the tax office to which they will submit tax returns.
Applicants can also create an e-Doręczenia electronic delivery mailbox with a public provider or add an existing address with a commercial provider. The completed form is signed using a trusted profile and sent to CEIDG from the app.
Users can receive push notifications about the application’s progress, including when the business becomes active, NIP and REGON numbers are assigned, and an e-Doręczenia mailbox is activated if requested. The service connects to the CEIDG database each time it is opened, showing the register’s current information.
The Firma service also lets entrepreneurs suspend or resume business activity, manage the list of representatives and commercial proxies, download CEIDG certificates as PDFs, and copy or share company details such as NIP and REGON.
The service is available to adults with Polish citizenship, an active trusted profile and an mDowód added to the app. It can be used only to register a person’s first business, provided no application has already been submitted in another form. Other procedures, including ZUS registration and VAT taxpayer registration, must be completed separately, at an office or online through biznes.gov.pl.
