The process of unregistering step by step:
The procedure depends on the labour office. Every office has its own preferences, e.g. you may unregister by:
- submitting a declaration along with a document that confirms the loss of the status (a contract of employment, application for the entry to the register of business activities),
- submitting a declaration of resigning from the status of an unemployed person whereby the reason is stated without any documents.
The declaration (documents) listed above may be delivered to the office in various ways:
- personally,
- by post,
- by a third party,
- by fax,
- via e-mail (in this case the documents must be scanned),
-
via the www.praca.gov.pl module by selecting the option "taking up a Job application", "application for starting-up business/business resumption" or "deprivation of the unemployment status application".
