If you don't have a PESEL number, it can create some difficulties, especially if you want to start a business or work legally in Poland. The PESEL number (it's a personal identification number) has become mandatory since July 22, 2022, for many procedures, including business registration【4:0†source】.
Here's what you can do in this situation:
1. **Get a PESEL**: If you are in Poland on the basis of temporary protection or another legal status, you can apply for a PESEL number at the local authorities. This is important for legalizing your stay and accessing various services.
2. **Work without PESEL**: If you don't have a PESEL, you won't be able to register as a sole proprietor (SP) or work legally. However, if you are a Ukrainian citizen, you can use a simplified procedure to obtain temporary protection, which can also help you get a PESEL【4:11†source】.
3. **Consultation**: If you have difficulties getting a PESEL or are unsure about your actions, I recommend consulting a lawyer or accountant who can help you figure out your situation. You can schedule a consultation via the link: https://t.me/mklegalconsultBot.
