A person willing to register as a jobseeker may register at one or more district labour offices that he/she chooses.

There is a possibility of providing the required information through the electronic registration system, accessible at: praca.gov.pl

Then the labour office sets the date of personal appearance at the district labour office, within 7 working days from the date of pre-registration via the online-system, in order to provide all required documents and register at the district labour office. In case the person does not appear at the labour office on the indicated day, the information provided is deleted from the system of public employment services.
