IMPORTANT
Study documents must always be current, and when the semester changes new documents from the University must be submitted. If you change address, passport or finish a semester – submit updated documents. All documents must be certified as true copies by an office employee or submitted in original form. Pesel number is not required but it is very useful. You can ask to put your PESEL on TRC instead of accommodation adress. It is a better option because you will probably change your adress a lot and everytime you change adress you will need to update this information on your TRC which means paying for another card. If the process of issuing the TRC takes way to long you can consult a legal advisor.
- Documents from 1-5 must be submitted at the first visit in the TRC Office.
- Documents from 6-13 can be submitted later or by a traditional mail.
HOW TO APPLY FOR TRC

studentoffice@powislanska.edu.pl stating your readiness for application.
2. Wait for a message from Student’s Office in regards to your TRC appointment date. Please note that it may take at least 3 weeks to apply for grouped appointments.
3. After a group of 10-13 people forms you’ll go to the TRC Office (also known as Pomeranian Voivodeship Office) with our Student Office representative.

Citizen and Foreigner Affairs Department The Pomeranian Voivodeship Office
Entrance to the building from Rzeźnicka Street. (Room No. 11 – other more common name for this is Information = Informacja)
If you go to the office by yourself:
After entering the building go immediate right and wait to be asked inside – usualy a Security worker will ask about your reason of visit, if you have appointment you will be asked inside if you don’t have appointment but want more information you will be asked to stand in line.
It is best to visit the TRC Office in the morning at 8:00 the latest, because later the queue could even take up to 2-3 hours of waiting time. In the morning when the TRC Office is opening there are far less clients waiting.
SUBMITTING MISSING DOCUMENTS
If you didn’t submit all of the required documents during your first visit then you can do it later without making an appointment. There are two places where you can submit documents:
At the main entrance to the office from Okopowa street. After entering you go left to the window number 2.
At the Information at Rzeźnicka street.
Before submitting documents prepare your case number that you can find on the site where you track your application.
