Changes to the National Criminal Register and EU data exchange

The law improves the exchange of information on criminal convictions between Poland and other EU countries, including on third-country nationals. It introduces mandatory fingerprinting for non-EU defendants and expands the scope of data collected in the Register. For citizens, this means faster access to information about their criminal record, but also a wider range of data processed by the state.
Key points
New rules for exchanging conviction data with EU countries, including on non-EU citizens.
Mandatory fingerprinting for defendants who are not EU citizens.
Expanded data in the Register, e.g., information on terrorist offenses.
Faster (within 10 days) provision of criminal record information upon request from other EU states.
Citizens can obtain information about their criminal record from other EU countries.
