This regulation from the Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration establishes the official template for a certificate issued to individuals applying for EU long-term residency. The certificate serves as proof that an application has been formally submitted. This action standardizes the documentation process for a specific immigration status within Poland.

Compliance officers involved in immigration processing or advising foreign nationals on residency applications must ensure they are using the correct, officially sanctioned certificate form. While no specific compliance deadline is mentioned beyond the effective date of the regulation, adherence to the prescribed format is now mandatory for all applications of this type. Failure to use the correct form could lead to application delays or rejections.
