Frequently asked questions

The simplest way is by telephone: +48 884 906 509 or +48 71 307 11 02, or by e-mail: kancelaria@ksnotariusz.pl. We will agree the type of act, the documents needed and the date.

For many notarial acts – including property sales and mortgages – the notary checks whether the PESEL number is restricted. You need to lift the restriction before your visit: in the mObywatel app, on gov.pl (trusted profile, e-ID card, online banking) or in person at any municipal office. It can be lifted temporarily – until a chosen date and time, after which the number is automatically restricted again. Details.

Yes. The office also serves clients in English. If a party does not speak Polish, the deed is executed with the participation of a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły), who translates its content. We can help arrange a translator, including for Ukrainian.

A notary is an obliged institution within the meaning of the Act on Counteracting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. For certain acts, the notary must identify the parties, establish the beneficial owner and – where necessary – the source of the funds.
