Understanding which authority manages your PKK profile, theory test, or physical licence issuance is essential for a smooth administrative process. This directory details the distinct roles of regional WORD examination centres, local municipal offices, and national regulatory bodies.
Regional public authority · Regional
Regional WORD centres conduct Poland's official state theory and practical driving examinations and provide statutory road-safety education. They are the examination authority learners use after obtaining a PKK profile and completing any required training, but they do not issue the final driving licence.
Local public authority · Local
The competent county or city office creates Poland's PKK driver-candidate profile and makes the administrative decision on an individual's driving entitlement. It is also the local authority for issuance, replacement, exchange, category changes and many restriction or medical-fitness cases.
Government ministry · National
Poland's Ministry of Infrastructure sets the national legal framework for driver training, state examinations, licence categories and driving-licence administration. It publishes official guidance and regulations but does not create an individual's PKK or book a WORD examination.
