PKK number
The Candidate Driver Profile (PKK) is created by the local office. Without its number the school can't enrol you on a course or book you for exams.
Step by step
- Have a medical check-up with an authorised doctor (the voivodeship marshal keeps the list; the school often recommends one) and collect the certificate. It costs at most PLN 200.
- Prepare a current 35 × 45 mm photo, like for an ID card.
- If you are under 18, you need written consent from a parent or guardian.
- Submit a driving licence application at the vehicle registration department of the county or city office (also online if you have a trusted profile). The profile is free.
- The office assigns a PKK number, usually within 2 working days. Give it to your school — it needs it for your course and exams.

Worth knowing
The doctor checks, among other things, your eyesight, hearing and general health. Colour recognition is not required for category B. If the certificate says you drive with glasses, code 01 will appear on your licence.
