The Temporary Foreigner's Identity Certificate (TZTC) is a fundamental document used by people who apply for international protection in Poland. Its function is confirming the identity of a foreigner and bestowing upon them the right of legal stay on the territory of the Republic of Poland until their legal proceedings are closed via the final decision of the appropriate governmental body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Issuing the document after an application was filed<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n After obtaining an application for international protection, the Border Guard is required to issue a temporary foreigner's identity certificate to the applicant as soon as it is possible, and no later than three days from the date of application. If the application also concerns the spouse of the applicant they are then eligible for the document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The certificate is also provided to foreigners that are transfered to Poland under the provisions of the Dulbin III Regulation, if after the transfer they expressed interest in continuing the international protection procedure. In the case that the initial application also concerned the spouse of the applicant they are then eligible for the document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the application concerns underage children, the document issued to the parents or caretakers also applies to the children automatically. The guardian may request that a separate certificate be issued for a child that is at least 5 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Validity of the document and subsequent certificates<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n A TZTC remains valid for a period of 90 days unless the foreigner in question has been transferred to Poland under the Dublin procedure, in which case the validity period is just 10 days. After that time has passed, the foreigner should immediately apply for a new certificate, that will be issued by the Chief of the Office for Foreigners and that has a validity period of 6 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the law there are still cases when the appropriate governmental body may refuse to issue a TZTC, e.g. when a proceeding for international protection has already closed via a final decision or in cases when a decision to refuse to take into account the declaration of intention to continue applying for protection was issued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on the TZTC<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n A temporary foreigner's identity certificate includes basic information about the foreigner, such as name and surname, names of their parents, age or the date and place of birth as well as nationality. In the case that minords are included in the application, their personal details are also included in the TZTC. The certificate will contain a picture and a signature of the document holder and additionaly, it may also include the data in an encrypted form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Responsibilities of the document holder<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The act on granting protection to foreigners indicates that the foreigner is required to exchange their TZTC in the case that their personal details had changed, their child was born, the certificate was damaged or when other circumstances make it difficult to identify them. In the case that the foreigner has lost their certificate, the Chief of the Office for Foreigners must be notified within three days. A new TZTC will then be issued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the proceedings have finished with a final decision, the document holder is required to turn in their TZTC to the governmental body that has issued it. That can also be done at the moment of leaving Poland at the border, returning the document to the commander of the Border Guard outpost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The importance of the certificate in everyday functioning of a foreigner<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n W praktyce TZTC ma zdecydowanie szersze znaczenie ni\u017c jedynie potwierdzenie to\u017csamo\u015bci w post\u0119powaniu uchod\u017aczym. Jest to jedyny dokument, kt\u00f3rym cudzoziemiec w procedurze mo\u017ce si\u0119 legitymowa\u0107, poniewa\u017c paszporty podlegaj\u0105 zdeponowaniu.
