A year has passed since drivers with a Polish driving license are exempt from the obligation to have it with them and to show it during a roadside inspection in our country. The driving license is available in the mObywat application. Almost 4 million drivers have a driving license in the phone, informed the digitization department of the prime minister’s office.
So far, for the lack of this document while driving, we were faced with a fine of PLN 50. The amendment to the Road Traffic Law exempts drivers of vehicles with a Polish driving license from the obligation to have and present a document during a road inspection in Poland.
The driver’s data and authorizations during the roadside inspection are checked in the Central Register of Drivers.

Our mPrawo Jazdy can be found in the mObywatel application from December 5, 2020. mPrawo Jazdy uses up-to-date data available in the Central Register of Drivers.
The representatives of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister explained that it contains almost all the data that we also have in a traditional document. “The photo may be different. In the application it is downloaded from mObywatel, that is, it will be the same as we have in the ID card” – indicated.
The most mPraw Jazdy was downloaded by Polish drivers on the day of the premiere, i.e. on December 5, 2020 – 147 577. A day later – 101 112. The month in which most drivers installed them on their phones was July this year. At that time, it gained 602,819 new users.
“From December 5 last year until today, mPrawo Jazdy has been downloaded by almost 4 million drivers – 3,949,826 to be exact – which means that on average more than 10,500 people install them every day. This is a great result. We hope that the second year will be mPrawa Jazdy will be even better “- said Minister Adam Andruszkiewicz, secretary of state in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, quoted in the communiqué.
It should be remembered that the driving license and mock theory test prep does not replace the traditional driving license. This is a reflection of the data contained in this document. This means that if we want to have the Driving Law, we must also have a valid traditional driving license.
