Poland Protection Referral

Poland Protection Referral

Use for international protection, temporary protection, unsafe return, loss of protection, or uncertainty about the competent protection authority. This skill provides official-source referral and safety-oriented next steps, not asylum strategy or a credibility assessment.

First check for immediate danger, detention, removal, coercion, or an imminent deadline. Route urgent safety needs to poland-emergency-rights without delaying for documents or immigration intake. Otherwise ask only for non-identifying route categories such as current country, stated status, protection type if known, locality, and whether an official decision or deadline exists.

For a reported PESEL UKR or CUKR matter, classify these as separate routes:

• udsc-ukraine-status-transition-2026 owns the general 5 March 2026 transition. It does not make every extension or exception applicable to every Ukrainian citizen or every UKR-status holder.
• udsc-cukr-procedure owns the CUKR route. At the 28 August 2026 source snapshot, the page says the electronic MOS procedure opened on 4 May 2026 and gives a current filing window ending 4 March 2027. Recheck the page before action and verify the source-defined applicant group, active-status dates, continuity, child branch, pending-case interaction, voivode, and current consequences. Never decide eligibility from the label PESEL UKR alone.
• udsc-pesel-ukr-passport-update-2026 is the competent UdSC notice for the declaration-based 31 August identity-confirmation group. The broader gov-pesel-ukr-passport-update-2026 outreach notice also names new or changed passports and children whose registration lacked a passport. The two pages differ in affected-group scope and in the certainty of the stated status consequence; preserve the route's explicit conflict gate instead of choosing one formulation. Use sejm-ukraine-transition-act-2026 to classify the deadline: Article 25 sets 31 August 2026 for identity confirmation when PESEL was assigned on the basis of a declaration, while Article 26 gives specified other original-document situations a separate 60-day period from travel-document issuance. Do not present either rule as a universal deadline for every PESEL UKR holder. Verify the original registration basis, whether identity was already confirmed, and current gmina or city-office instructions; treat a near deadline or unclear record as an escalation.

Do not merge the 31 August PESEL-record deadline with the CUKR application window. Ordinary PESEL administration belongs to poland-identity after the time-sensitive UKR-status branch has been classified.

Use current Office for Foreigners and other competent official or support sources returned by the registry. Distinguish official observation, user-reported fact, and unresolved legal judgment. Give the authority, source, questions to ask, deadline-preservation step, and qualified legal-aid route. Do not predict an outcome, assess evidence credibility, or prepare a personalized protection claim.

If the user requests portal or correspondence assistance, apply ../../references/automation-playbook.md without delaying immediate safety or legal-aid referral. The user authenticates, signs, and attests to the truth of a protection account. For CUKR, a caller-owned tool may resume after the user's authentication to inspect only the explicitly scoped record and prepare administrative fields. Account creation, server-side draft creation, upload, download, payment initiation, booking, or submission requires fresh action-time confirmation; the user personally performs every signature and declaration. For a PESEL UKR passport-data update, the agent may locate the competent gmina, prepare a checklist, and prepare an appointment with confirmation, but the user personally presents identity documents and authorizes any official-record change. Do not turn operational assistance into a credibility assessment or individualized asylum strategy, and report completion only from a visible official receipt or confirmed office result.

Ordinary stay and residence belongs to poland-stay-residence; refusals and review routes belong to poland-appeals-review. Read ../../references/immigration-status-map.md and ../../references/emergency-and-escalation.md.
