These refer to documents without which we cannot initiate proceedings, i.e., we cannot consider your application — for example, a completed and signed application form, photographs, the original passport presented for inspection, etc. You must provide these documents in order to receive a stamp on your passport. The formal assessment of the application is the initial stage of the entire procedure, during which we review the documents you have submitted. If your application form contains formal deficiencies, we will send you a letter requesting that you supplement them and set a deadline for doing so. If you do not submit the requested documents within the specified time, your application will not be further considered — it will be left without examination. If your application form does not contain formal deficiencies, or if you supplement them within the deadline, your documents will be verified in terms of eligibility for granting a residence permit in Poland.
