I'd like to change this part "Every Polish citizen 18 years of age or older residing permanently in Poland must have an Identity Card (dokument tożsamości) issued by the local Office of Civic Affairs. Polish citizens living permanently abroad are entitled, but not required, to have one." Because it only has a picture of the front side of the ID and is overall short, I'd like to add some more information. Also, the things I want to edit are all available on the Polish government website. That's all. Lilsfaf (talk) 21:23, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
