The Digital Affairs Ministry has scheduled maintenance that will take the ‘Profil Zaufany’ (Trusted Profile) authentication system offline from 21:00 on 8 May until 09:00 on 9 May, technology portal DobreProgramy reported on 6 May. The window will disable both log-in and electronic-signature functions used to access hundreds of government e-services—including MOS 2.0 residence applications, EU Blue Card renewals and the mObywatel mobile-ID app. Because MOS 2.0 filings and many visa-invitation requests require a live Trusted Profile signature, users trying to submit during the outage will receive error messages and have to restart the process.

If you need to expedite a Polish visa or residence filing and want a buffer against technical surprises like the Trusted Profile downtime, VisaHQ can coordinate end-to-end document preparation and submission on your behalf. Their Warsaw-focused team monitors system outages and policy changes in real time, helping clients time their applications correctly and avoid illegal-stay penalties; learn more at https://www.visahq.com/poland/
The ministry advises applicants with expiring legal-stay deadlines to file before the maintenance or wait until systems are back online; partial drafts will not be saved. Corporate mobility teams should warn travellers and foreign employees against last-minute submissions. A lapse in lawful stay can occur if an application is not timestamped before a visa or permit expires, potentially triggering an overstay flag in the EES database once the individual exits Poland. The downtime also affects the electronic seal used by notaries and accountants, so employers planning consular legalisations or corporate-document filings during the window may need to reschedule courier pick-ups. Officials say the upgrade will pave the way for cross-border e-ID interoperability under the EU’s eIDAS 2.0 rules later this year, ultimately making remote signature recognition easier for foreign nationals who hold another member-state digital ID.
