Lost my Polish driving license. Can I get one from abroad?

Hi.

I got my polish driving license during my studies in poland. Unfortunately i lost my wallet in a gas station. How do i get new one from abroad?

Is it necessary to travel back to poland do paperwork?

Yes - when the driving license is lost, there's no other option - you have to come back to Poland and fix everything personally.

Yes, Poland is a very bureaucratic/paperwork country, and they usually mostly impose you to queue personally in the administration office with a valid ID and all required papers before you can get anything.

I know it's very annoying when you are used to arrange most of things concerning the bureaucracy by email, post or phone; but it's, unfortunately, that way.

No. You have to apply in Poland.
