How can I check the status of my Pesel number?

Quick question, how do I go about checking the status of my Pesel #??? Like as in how do I check to see if it is still active or if the number is no longer like in the system?

Thank you

file your taxes maybe?

Yeah, I don't do taxes.

I may be wrong (it does actually happen sometimes, unbelievable but true) but I think it stays active as long as the person is alive. There was something in the papers about a poor old lady whose pesel had been cancelled because they though she was dead and she couldn't get it back again.

Would it stay active even if I were to give up my citizenship???

Pesel has nothing do with citizenship.

No??? It would stay.active.even if you don't have.citizenship...... I would assume you would lose your sin and or snn if you were to lose citizenship and it would.become inactive no??? That's not the same for poland??

If Pesel had something to do with citzenship, no foreigner in Poland could have one.

Ooooo everyone gets one, idk al I know is its on my passport so that's why I assumed it had something to do with citizenship or that I migt be able to check online by seaching the number. I know in canada nd u.s you can search your number and find your info

I suppose in every country that is the case...My Belgian ID-card also mentions my Belgian Pesel for example...

Well I didn't know but I guess the u.s andcanada also kinda have a pesel number, id never heard of it before but looking at my passport andmy quickie passort card their is a pesel number on that weird, I nevr knew that. Alright well I guess I give up with checking pesel haha doesn't look it would tell me anything

they are called social security number which is very important to remeber also.

...... its not your ssn number nor is it an sin number its the same number of digits as a pesel number starts wit your dob. Year/month/date followed by for me an 8F meaning I'm a female then 7 random digits followed your country

Not in Poland they are not.

The are not called social security numbers or are they not important to remember?

They are not called that and they are not important to remember.

They are not called that however everyone should remember it. Not to hard imo since the first 8 numbers are your day of birth. 99% remember their PESEL I believe since it's just easier to do than every time check it.


Actually in Poland there are no letters in Pesel and date of birth is followed by 5 numbers

In my polish passport I also have the 8F in it.

Idk maybe that's not the pesel number then, google just said it was so idk haha

Pesel don't have letters. Simple. Your Pesel should have your date of birth and 5 digits after that. If it's something different it's not Pesel.
