How can I obtain a certificate from the National Criminal Register (certificate of clear criminal record)?

Online via e-KRK: Available electronically through the Ministry of Justice e-Platform (System e-KRK), which requires an active Polish Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany) or qualified electronic signature. (Note: The resulting XML file is often rejected by foreign embassies requiring physical paper).
In Person at KRK Offices: You can visit an official National Criminal Register Information Point in person, such as the main registry bureau in Warsaw at ul. Czerniakowska 100 or regional court information points across Poland.
