Enhanced Security for Public Documents and Excise Stamps: PWPW as Exclusive Manufacturer

The draft bill centralizes the production of blanks for important public documents (including ID cards, passports) and excise stamps at the Polish Security Printing Works (PWPW). The aim is to place the manufacturing process under the supervision of the national security authority. The Internal Security Agency (ABW) retains the ability to manufacture blanks for certain specific public documents.
Key points
The Polish Security Printing Works (PWPW) is granted the exclusive right to manufacture excise stamps and blanks for key public documents.
PWPW is required to possess a certified security management system (ISO 14298) and protect classified information.
The changes are set to enter into force on January 1, 2026, and aim to guarantee state security and public order.
