New rules for EU criminal record data exchange

The act implements EU systems ECRIS and ECRIS-TCN, enabling faster exchange of criminal record information between Poland and other EU countries. This applies to both EU citizens and nationals of non-EU states.
Key points
Faster access to criminal records: law enforcement and courts will obtain foreign criminal data within 10 working days.
New ECRIS-TCN system: tracks convictions of third-country nationals and stateless persons across the EU.
Fingerprint collection: police may take fingerprints from non-EU nationals for identification in criminal proceedings.
Extended data access: additional entities, such as public procurement certification bodies, will gain access to the National Criminal Register.
Data protection: fingerprints will not be stored in the criminal register but in a separate secured police database.
