You will register a new company only online

From 1 November 2026, the application to start a business activity in CEIDG will be submitted exclusively electronically. The exception is when the company is founded by a minor. A new company can be registered via Biznes.gov.pl, in the mObywatel app, at banks, and on platforms supporting entrepreneurs.

From April 2026, the mObywatel app supports the Firma service. It allows you to start a business, check your company's data, and download a certificate from CEIDG. From the same place, you can suspend the business, resume it, or change the planned suspension or resumption date.

Suspending a company: cost and minimum period

Suspending an entry in CEIDG is free of charge. As a rule, the suspension period cannot be shorter than 30 days. If you provide a resumption date in the application, the business will restart on that day without a separate application. If no date is given, the business remains suspended until it is resumed or deleted.

Suspension does not remove the entry from the register. During this time, you still need to have an e-Delivery address entered in the electronic address database. During the suspension, you also do not need to calculate and pay advance payments of income tax.

e-Delivery has become mandatory for all companies

From 1 October 2026, every entrepreneur must have an e-Delivery address. The address had to be created by 30 September 2026 at the latest. Entrepreneurs who already run a business will have to provide the details of this address with every change to their KRS or CEIDG entry.

A new company receives an address already during registration, but after submitting the application, it must be activated using a link in an email message. The Ministry points out that messages from e-Delivery may have legal consequences, so it is worth checking the mailbox regularly.

Changes to the CEIDG register and dates to remember

A Ministry announcement of 12 October 2026 announced changes to the operation of the CEIDG register from 14 October. CEIDG services on Biznes.gov.pl were to be unavailable from 13 October, from 12:00, until 14 October, until 00:30. Entries of minor entrepreneurs will be clearly marked, and in CEIDG it will also be possible to report a company, for example a general partnership, as a representative.

The changes will also cover conscious consent to the publication of a telephone number and email address in the registration application. Reporting and publishing information about representatives will be possible only online. If an error appears while submitting an application, you should not repeat the action. First, check whether the application has already been registered.

The codes in the entry must be changed from PKD 2007 to PKD 2025 by 31 December 2026. After this date, CEIDG will reclassify the codes automatically by 31 January 2027, if possible. If automatic conversion is not possible, the entry will be removed from the register.

The next stage of digitising CEIDG applications, which also includes online amendment of applications, is planned for 2028. A "single window" solution is also envisaged for civil partnerships, which would transfer data between CEIDG, ZUS, the tax office and GUS.
