ozdobnik

e-Delivery is an electronic equivalent of a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. It will be used for sending, receiving and storaging official correspondence (e.g., official letters, correspondence with the courts). Because of this service public entities and companies can benefit from this secure electronic delivery. Ultimately, all of them will be required to have an address for conducting correspondence via e-Delivery.

The e-Delivery address will remain the same, even in the event of a change in the physical address of the company. 

Key advantages of e-Delivery

  • secrecy of correspondence, 
  • the ability to quickly determine the address for the recipient’s e-Deliveries, 
  • access to reliable and legally accepted proof of shipment and collection, 
  • access to information about the date and time of sending and receiving correspondence. 

Progressively, all offices will start using e-Delivery to communicate with citizens and companies. Their document management systems will be connected to e-Delivery. It is predicted that other trusted providers will be able to start the e-Delivery service.  

The obligation to use e-Delivery will fall on all public entities and companies registered in the National Court Register (KRS) and Central Register and Information on Economic Activity (CEIDG).  

Correspondence is free of charge: 

  • from citizens and businesses to public entities, 
  • between public bodies. 

Only when the public body does not take part in correspondence, citizens, and companies will pay the costs. Public entities will pay for sending documents to citizens, companies, or other non-public institutions.
