Current claim

• status: draft
• verification.method: manual-source-review-v1
• verification.lastVerifiedAt: 2026-07-07

Amended same-day in response to GOV-1681's review-gate findings on PR #279: added registeringAuthorityLocality (see judgment call 3 below, correcting the original text of that call) and refreshed the conformance fixture accordingly. Field count: 21 → 22.

This is issue GOV-1678, tasked directly with authoring Poland's national vehicle-registration application — the single remaining cell in the global DMV vertical (21/22 jurisdictions before this document; 22/22 after).

Why this candidate

Poland's national vehicle-registration wzór was already known to this registry: two prior cycles (GOV-1666, which opened Poland as the registry's 22nd jurisdiction via its National ID vertical, and GOV-1671, which closed Poland's Business Formation gap via CEIDG-1) each screened this same regulation and set it aside for a different deliverable, explicitly noting it as "genuine and current, but... only 7 numbered data fields" — a first-pass read that covered only the six numbered vehicle-identification lines and the request-type selector, without a full extraction of the header, the seven footnotes, the plate-election lines, or the closing declaration. GOV-1678 revisits this exact form for a complete, dedicated authoring pass rather than a secondary screening note, since it is now the sole remaining gap in an entire global vertical.

• Extraction method: the form (Annex 1, PDF pages 18-19) carries no AcroForm layer — it is a static hand-fill/print template, not a fillable PDF. Every field, label, and footnote modelled here is read directly from a pdfjs-dist text-content extraction of those two pages, preserving the form's own printed line order and its own numbered footnote key (1-7) on the reverse page, rather than a coordinate-matched or rendered read.
• What it confirms: the form's own header (submission date/place, owner identity and address, the addressee registering authority, a PESEL-or-REGON line, and a foreigner-only date-of-birth line); the four-way request-type selector expressed as two either/or strike-through choices; six numbered vehicle-identification lines plus a disposal-date continuation; a free-text attached-documents list; the individual-plate/reduced-plate election lines; the previous-registration-number retention election; the form's own closing data-accuracy declaration; and all seven footnotes explaining the conditional fields above.

• What it confirms: the application is filed with the starosta (county administrator) of the applicant's residence, via the wydział komunikacji (transport/traffic department) of the local county/city office — a nationally-standardized wzór administered locally, the same pattern already established elsewhere in this registry (e.g. pl/mswia/wniosek-o-wydanie-dowodu-osobistego's gmina-level execution of a ministry-set wzór); and the case-dependent breakdown of required attached documents this document's documents[] array is built from (ownership proof, fee-payment proof, existing plates; for imported vehicles: customs clearance, excise documentation, homologation/compliance certificates, certified translations; for used/previously-registered vehicles: the existing dowód rejestracyjny with a valid technical-inspection entry; for historic vehicles: heritage-status proof and a technical-inspection report; for self-built vehicles: a written ownership declaration and the "Świadectwo krajowego indywidualnego dopuszczenia pojazdu").

Field inventory

All 22 fields[] entries and all 13 documents[] entries carry their exact source location inline in schema.json's own sourceRef. Summary:

| Section | Fields | |---|---| | Header (submission, owner, authority) | submissionDate, submissionPlace, ownerName, ownerAddress, registeringAuthorityName, registeringAuthorityLocality, ownerPeselOrRegon, foreignerDateOfBirth | | Request type + vehicle data | requestType, temporaryRegistrationPurpose, vehicleTypeAndPurpose, vehicleMakeTypeModel, yearOfProduction, vin, previousRegistrationNumber, euImportDate, previouslyRegisteredVehicleDisposalDate | | Plates, retention, declaration | individualPlateDesignator, reducedSizePlatesRequested, reducedMountingSpaceDeclared, retainPreviousRegistrationNumberRequested, dataAccuracyDeclaration |

documents[]: 12 case-dependent supporting-evidence entries (ownership proof, fee-payment proof, existing plates, customs clearance, excise documentation, homologation certificate, certified translations, existing registration certificate, heritage-status proof, technical-inspection report, self-built-vehicle ownership declaration, individual approval certificate) plus 1 attestation entry citing the form's own closing declaration verbatim.

Access notes and judgment calls

1. requestType is modelled as a single four-value enum, even though the form implements it as two independent either/or strike-through choices (per footnote 4: "cross out whichever does not apply," applied separately to "rejestrację / czasową rejestrację" and to "wyrejestrowanie / zawiadamiam o zbyciu"). A genuine application has exactly one operative request type at a time, so this follows this registry's established convention for a shared multi-purpose form (co/runt/formulario-solicitud- tramites-vehiculo's tramiteType, es/dgt/solicitud-tramites-vehiculo's procedure enum, pl/mswia's own powodUbieganiaSie) rather than four independent booleans plus an exclusivityGroups entry.
2. ownerPeselOrRegon and foreignerDateOfBirth's either/or relationship (footnote 3: date of birth is filled in only by a foreigner without a PESEL) is disclosed in prose only, not as a structural requiredWhen gate. Neither field is conditioned on the other via requiredWhen because there is no boolean "is a foreign national without a PESEL" field on the source form to gate on, and this registry's own convention (see notEquals-on-an-absent-optional-field caution already logged elsewhere) is to avoid fabricating a condition the source does not itself express as a checkable flag. Both fields are left independently optional.
3. registeringAuthorityLocality (correction from GOV-1681's review gate). v1.0.0 as first authored dismissed a (miejscowość) caption near the registering-authority line as a probable text-extraction artifact of linear reading order, and did not model it. The GOV-1681 review gate's independent adversarial pass pulled the same PDF's raw x/y glyph coordinates (not linear text order) and showed this does not hold up: the right-hand header column carries two distinct dotted-line blanks, each with its own independently-positioned caption — y=539.7 "(nazwa organu rejestrującego)" and, on the row directly below, y=510.1 "(miejscowość)" — not one wrapped caption. A filled-in real-world example of an earlier (2020) version of this same form (addressee handwritten as "Starosta Opolski / ul. 1 Maja 29 / 45-068 Opole" — authority name, then its own locality, like a postal heading) corroborates the coordinate read. Re-verified independently again this cycle via a fresh pdfjs-dist extraction of the same source PDF before applying the fix. registeringAuthorityLocality is now modelled as a required string field, paired with registeringAuthorityName, and distinct from submissionPlace (the place the application is signed, not the addressee's own locality).
4. ownerName/ownerAddress are documented as potentially describing either the vehicle's owner directly, or a distinct authorized submitting entity acting on the owner's behalf (footnote 1), without a separate pair of fields for the two roles. The source form gives these two roles one shared header line each, not two; this document follows the form's own shape rather than introducing an unconfirmed second field pair.
5. vin carries no format pattern, unlike several other DMV schemas in this registry (e.g. co/runt's 17-character VIN pattern), because the source's own line explicitly permits a VIN or a chassis/podwozie/frame number under one heading — a real width and character-set spread this document does not want to under- or over-constrain without a confirmed single format.
6. Every documents[] entry is required: false. The gov.pl page's own text states required attachments "vary by case" (new vs. used vs. imported vs. historic ventricle vs. self-built vehicle), but this v1.0.0 does not model a vehicle-category/case-selector field structurally distinct from requestType (which selects the procedure, not the vehicle's own history). Rather than fabricate a requiredWhen gate the sources do not themselves state as a checkable field, every documents[] entry's applicability is disclosed in its own handling text instead — the same discipline pl/mswia's own judgment call 3 and es/aeat's Modelo 036 VERIFICATION.md both apply to an unconfirmed structural rule. A future revision could add a vehicleCategory-style field and gate these requiredWhen it, once a source confirms the exact category taxonomy.
7. proofOfFeePayment is modelled as a supporting-evidence document, not a payment category entry. The GovSchema documents[] model's payment category (with amount/methods) describes a fee obligation itself; this form instead asks the applicant to attach evidence that a fee has already been paid elsewhere, and no source examined this cycle states the fee's amount or accepted payment methods — modelling it as payment without a confirmed amount would either omit a required member or fabricate one.
8. selfBuiltVehicleOwnershipDeclaration is modelled as a supporting-evidence document, not an attestation, even though it is a written declaration in substance. documents[].statement requires verbatim source text (per §9.1 of the spec and this registry's own pl/ceidg precedent, whose lawfulActivityAttestation cites CEIDG-1's own exact Polish sentence); this cycle's only source for this specific declaration is the gov.pl page's English paraphrase ("written ownership declaration"), not the declaration's own verbatim Polish wording, so this document avoids inventing Polish attestation text that was never actually read from a source.
9. dataAccuracyDeclaration (a boolean field) is paired with a dedicated dataAccuracyAttestation documents[] entry carrying the closing declaration's own verbatim Polish text, mirroring pl/ceidg's own lawfulActivityDeclaration/lawfulActivityAttestation pairing for its analogous closing-declaration sentence — the only place in this document where a statement value is used, since it is the only declaration this cycle's own source extraction captured verbatim.
10. The physical owner-signature line is out of scope as a data field, per this registry's established convention for signature blocks (e.g. co/runt, es/aeat Modelo 036, pl/mswia).
11. euImportDate is left optional with no requiredWhen gate, even though footnote 5 states it applies only to a first-time Polish registration of a vehicle imported from an EU member state after 2019-12-31 — there is no boolean "vehicle previously registered abroad" field on the source form to gate this on structurally, so the condition is disclosed in the field's own description only, consistent with judgment call 2 above.

Test run

No live submission was attempted: submitting fabricated applicant and vehicle data against Poland's live national vehicle-registration system is not a safe or reversible action, and the source form itself is a static/print template with no online submission endpoint identified this cycle.

Instead, one fully hand-constructed mock record was built from this document's own field inventory and manually checked against every field's required/requiredWhen/validation rule; it is committed as this document's conformance fixture (conformance/pl/mi/wniosek-o-rejestracje-pojazdu/1.0.0/application-packet.json).

Scenario (committed fixture) — a used-vehicle re-registration: an owner who has just bought a previously-registered car applies for a new registration in their own name, keeping the vehicle's existing plates, with no vanity/reduced-size plate request. submissionDate: "2026-07-07", submissionPlace: "Kraków", ownerName: "Marek Kowalski", ownerAddress: "ul. Długa 12/3, 31-147 Kraków", registeringAuthorityName: "Starosta Krakowski — Wydział Komunikacji", registeringAuthorityLocality: "Kraków" (satisfying its own required: true), ownerPeselOrRegon: "78051234567" (an 11-digit PESEL), requestType: "registration" (a valid enum member; temporaryRegistrationPurpose and previouslyRegisteredVehicleDisposalDate both correctly omitted since they are only requiredWhen a different requestType), vehicleTypeAndPurpose: "Samochód osobowy", vehicleMakeTypeModel: "Volkswagen Golf VII", yearOfProduction: 2018 (within the 1900-2100 validation.minimum/maximum), vin: "WVWZZZ1KZ8W123456", previousRegistrationNumber: "KR 12345", retainPreviousRegistrationNumberRequested: true, dataAccuracyDeclaration: true (satisfying its own required: true). The optional plate-election fields (individualPlateDesignator, reducedSizePlatesRequested, reducedMountingSpaceDeclared) and the optional euImportDate/foreignerDateOfBirth fields are correctly omitted as not applicable to this scenario. documents: proofOfOwnership and existingRegistrationCertificate supplied as filenames, matching a used-vehicle re-registration's actual document need per Source 2.

Negative controls (each traced by hand against schema.json, not committed as separate fixture files): (a) omitting dataAccuracyDeclaration entirely — violates the field's own required: true; (b) requestType: "temporary_registration" with temporaryRegistrationPurpose omitted — violates that field's requiredWhen; (c) requestType: "disposal_notification" with previouslyRegisteredVehicleDisposalDate omitted — violates that field's requiredWhen; (d) reducedSizePlatesRequested: true with reducedMountingSpaceDeclared omitted — violates that field's requiredWhen; (e) yearOfProduction: 1850 — violates validation.minimum; (f) requestType: "renewal" — not a member of the field's own validation.enum (only the four literal values listed are accepted). All six negative controls were correctly identified as rule violations by manual rule-tracing against schema.json.

Both meta-schema validators were run against the finished document and pass clean:
