- Why you assume to wait so long for an ID issuing? It takes shorter time - 3-5 weeks. Anyway, just go to the Polish consulate/embassy and that'll be the end of the story. Didn't your wife knew this?

cheers

Yes, but given the number of Poles in southern England, they are overstretched, so it will probably take a long time. If even half a percent of Polish citizens in the UK have a problem with documents, that's still thousands of cases yearly.

Best to go in person and make sure you have a crime number, or that will delay things further.

Yes, however I've heard people complain about the paperwork when they do that.

She could renew it in Poland or renew it online. The embassy website (in Polish) should have info on this.

Interestingly, if she's living in the UK, there's no legal obligation for her to have an up-to-date Polish ID card, however as any Pole will tell you, she'll need it sooner or later if she's back there.
