A revolution for the insured. Important changes regarding PESEL numbers

The Sejm adopted the amendment to the Population Registration Act with an overwhelming majority of votes. The new regulations will enable insurance companies that offer life insurance to access selected data from the PESEL register - the series, number and expiration date of customers' ID cards. Thanks to this, companies will check whether the documents are up to date, without the need to involve their clients.

No more paperwork for customers

So far, any change to the ID card required the insured to inform their insurer. Now this obligation will be taken over by companies that will automatically update data based on information from the PESEL register. This is a great convenience for millions of Poles who will no longer have to remember about additional formalities.

Safety and comfort

As the Chancellery of the Prime Minister emphasizes, the new solutions will not only reduce bureaucracy, but also increase safety. Policy management will be improved, the risk of errors will be reduced, and fraud attempts will be easier to detect.

The act will also improve the quality of data processed by insurance companies, which will translate into more efficient compensation payments.

When will the new regulations come into force?
