Before purchasing a policy, check the accuracy of your information against your passport or residence card. Even a minor typo can make it difficult to use the document later at an office or medical facility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Basic list of documents<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In most cases, the list of documents needed for insurance primarily includes an identity document. Most often it is a passport, but sometimes also a residence card or other travel document. The insurer needs the identification data of the insured person in order to correctly issue a policy, certificate or other contract document.<\/p>\n

To purchase a policy, you usually also need your name, date of birth, citizenship, document number, intended period of protection and country of permanent residence. In some cases, the purpose of stay, such as work, study, temporary stay or visa, is also relevant. This is important because a medical policy for a foreigner should correspond to the foreigner's real situation and planned period of stay in Poland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
