Applying for A1 certificates in Poland is done online through the Polish social security agency (ZUS).
Processing times are typically 2–8 weeks, though it may take longer depending on the case. The main challenge is that WorkFlex must first be authorized by the employer before it can apply, and that processing times may vary.
✅ What you need to do
1. Authorize WorkFlex to apply for A1s on your behalf
We will provide you with a detailed step-by-step guide on how to authorize us on e-ZUS. Please follow these steps so that we can submit applications on your behalf.
2. In cases of non-EU nationals
WorkFlex will request additional information about the employee’s residency history and status.
The residence card must be uploaded to the WorkFlex document center.
⚠️ Key points to keep in mind
A Power of Attorney (POA) is always required.
Additional information, such as the number of employees, may be required.
👉 Once these steps are complete, WorkFlex will fully handle the A1 application process on your behalf.
