How to handle it — step by step

Choose your method for setting up a Trusted Profile

You can set up a Trusted Profile in three ways:

Via online banking (fastest)

The whole process takes a few minutes — the bank confirms your identity automatically. Supported banks: PKO BP, ING, mBank, Santander, Pekao, Millennium, Alior Bank, Bank Pocztowy, Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, Nest Bank and others.

Via ePUAP + visit to a confirmation point

Create an ePUAP account and then confirm your identity in person at a government office, post office, or ZUS branch.

In person at a confirmation point

The whole process — from creating an account to activation — takes place during a visit to an office.

The Trusted Profile is completely free and valid for 3 years (can be renewed).
