Incorrect or outdated details in a Polish residence decision or card. When do they require action?

An error found in a residence decision or residence card can have different significance depending on what is incorrect and when the information changed. An obvious clerical mistake is different from data that became outdated after the decision was issued.

The source of the discrepancy should be identified first

It matters whether the incorrect information already appeared in the application, was introduced in the decision or only appears on the physical card. The appropriate response depends on where the problem arose.

Outdated information may result from a later change

A new passport, changed name, address or other personal data may make existing information outdated without meaning that the authority made an error. That distinction should be made before further action.
