Profil Zaufany (trusted profile)¶
What is Profil Zaufany
It’s a free way to prove who you are when you use government services. You can do quite a lot online with it; for us it matters because you can submit your sole proprietorship (JDG) application and other paperwork online. More info on the gov.pl site
You need a PESEL number to register a trusted profile.
Profil Zaufany through a bank¶
If you already opened a bank account using your PESEL, you can use that bank account to create the profile.
- Go to ePUAP.
- Follow:
Zaloguj się->profil zaufany->Zaloguj się przy pomocy banku lub innego dostawcyand pick your bank.
You’ll land on the bank’s page: enter login (Wpisz login), password (Wpisz hasło), then whatever else the bank asks for (Santander asked for email again and an SMS code). After that the account is registered and you get an email about it.
Then you can open Profil Zaufany and sign in with the bank icon into your trusted profile. If you don’t want to go through the bank every time, set a login and password in the profile settings. If that’s stuck — reset the password via email and set a new one. After that you can log in with login + password.
