This is a GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-1666), a general research-analyst brief covering the full catalog: screen the open gaps it names, pick the strongest, author it fully, test it, and commit.

Why this candidate

The brief named four candidate areas: Spain's Passport and Visa gaps, Chile's Passport/Visa/National ID gaps, or a brand-new 22nd jurisdiction (Portugal, Poland, or another EU member). All four Spain/Chile candidates were re-screened first, each confirmed weaker than a genuinely new option found this cycle.

Candidates screened and rejected

1. Spain — Passport (Policía Nacional, DNI). Re-confirmed a dead end. citapreviadnie.es and interior.gob.es both describe DNI issuance as a cita-previa (appointment) process at a Documentation Unit where the officer captures the applicant's data in person; no downloadable field-level application form or field-by-field guide was found this cycle, consistent with three prior cycles' findings (GOV-1624, GOV-1645, GOV-1652).
2. Spain — Visa (national Type-D visa). Re-confirmed to duplicate an already-published schema: exteriores.gob.es's own "Solicitud de visado nacional" PDF (.../20210611-Formulario nacional español-inglés.pdf) is the same EU-harmonized long-stay-visa template already modelled as de/auswaertiges-amt/national-visa-application (confirmed by GOV-1652). No distinct Spanish-specific non-Schengen visa pathway was found this cycle. Not picked, per the brief's own explicit caution against duplicating that schema.
3. Chile — Passport/Visa/National ID (Registro Civil e Identificación). Re-checked this cycle for a guide/manual fallback, the same technique that resolved Spain's Modelo 036 (GOV-1659) and Indonesia's e-Visa (GOV-1581). No such fallback was found: chileatiende.gob.cl's own "Pasaporte" and "Cédula de identidad" service pages both route to a ClaveÚnica-gated appointment system with no downloadable field-level form; the only unauthenticated PDF found (a consulate-hosted "Instructivo obtención cédula y pasaporte") is an appointment/ requirements checklist rendered as embedded photo scans of a physical flyer, not a field-by-field walkthrough of any application screen. This matches every prior cycle's finding for this gap (GOV-1624, GOV-1638, GOV-1645) — confirmed still not viable, not re-authored.

Candidate picked: Poland, a 22nd jurisdiction

Poland was not yet in the registry. Its national identity card (dowód osobisty) application form, "Wniosek o wydanie dowodu osobistego" (form code DO/W/1), is a genuine, currently-maintained, fully unauthenticated AcroForm PDF attached directly to the gov.pl "Uzyskaj dowód osobisty" service page — no login, CAPTCHA, or WAF gate. Its 47 form-field widgets across 2 pages already carry complete, self-documenting Polish names (e.g. "Numer PESEL", "Imię ojca (pierwsze)", "powód ubiegania się o wydanie dowodu - pierwszy dowód"), extracted directly via pdfjs-dist's own annotation layer with no coordinate-matching or page-rendering needed — every field's label is already its own internal PDF field name. This is a materially stronger single-pass source than any of the three rejected candidates above, none of which had a genuine field-level form or walkthrough available this cycle.

Sources examined

Source 1 (primary source, the form)

• Authority: Ministerstwo Spraw Wewnętrznych i Administracji (MSWiA)
• Document: "Wniosek o wydanie dowodu osobistego" (form DO/W/1)
• URL: https://www.gov.pl/attachment/6fd84906-d6cb-47d5-87f8-01bf7c984b3a (directly retrieved, HTTP 200, no login), linked from the gov.pl service page https://www.gov.pl/web/gov/uzyskaj-dowod-osobisty.
• Retrieved / reviewed: 2026-07-07.
• Extraction method: downloaded directly via curl, then parsed with pdfjs-dist (legacy/build/pdf.mjs) — both page.getAnnotations() (for every AcroForm widget's own field name, type, checkbox export value, and rect) and page.getTextContent() (for the form's own instructional prose, section headers, and the "DO/W/1" form-code footer stamp) were read in full for both of the form's 2 pages. No rendering to a bitmap was attempted (an initial attempt via pdfjs-dist + canvas failed on an embedded inline image the form's own background uses — TypeError: Image or Canvas expected — but was not needed: every field name is already a complete label, unlike forms this registry has previously had to coordinate-match, e.g. cl/sii/aviso-venta-vehiculo's generic Texto1…Texto54 widgets).
• What it confirms: all 47 field widgets' own names, types (Tx text boxes vs. Btn checkboxes), and checkbox export values (all "Tak"); the form's own 6 numbered sections ("1. Dane osoby, która ma otrzymać dowód", "2. Dane kontaktowe wnioskodawcy", "3. Powód ubiegania się o wydanie dowodu", "4. Fotografia osoby, która ma otrzymać dowód", "5. Certyfikat podpisu osobistego", "6. Oświadczenie, podpis"); the explicit "nie jest obowiązkowy" (not obligatory) callouts for the phone and email fields; and the separate, clerk-only "Adnotacje urzędowe (wypełnia urzędnik)" block on page 2.

• What it confirms: this regulation is current (published 2025-07-29, effective 2025 — implementing EU Regulation 2025/1208 on strengthened identity-card security features) and supersedes an equivalently-titled 2021 regulation; and, in its §5 ust. 1-2, the two distinct photo specifications this document's own photo document entry models — printed 35 x 45 mm photographic paper for an in-person filing, vs. a digital file of at least 492 x 633 px and at most 2.5 MB (keeping the same 35 x 45 mm proportions) for an electronic filing under art. 24 ust. 2a of the underlying Ustawa o dowodach osobistych.

Source 3 (corroborating, the live gov.pl service description)

• URL: https://www.gov.pl/web/gov/uzyskaj-dowod-osobisty (HTTP 200, no login).
• What it confirms: the online (profil zaufany / mObywatel / qualified e-signature) filing channel is authenticated and, per this page's own text, does not require the applicant to prepare any paper form at all ("Nie musisz przygotowywać żadnego papierowego wniosku... Urzędnik przygotuje twój elektroniczny wniosek w systemie") — the clerk instead prepares an equivalent electronic application from PESEL-registry data plus the same categories of information the DO/W/1 form itself collects (reason for applying, pickup office, personal-signature-certificate election, photo upload, contact details). This corroborates that DO/W/1's own field set matches what is actually collected end to end, even though neither this cycle nor a typical citizen ever submits the literal PDF to the authenticated online channel — the same "legally-authoritative wzór, not necessarily the literal submitted artifact" sourcing shape already established in this registry for gazetted forms (e.g. kr/nts/corporation-establishment-and-business-registration, id/korlantas/international-driving-permit-registration).

Field inventory (Phase 2)

All 26 fields[] entries and the 1 documents[] entry, and their exact source AcroForm field name, are listed inline in schema.json's own sourceRef per field/document. Summary by section:

| Section | Fields | Required for this v1.0.0? | |---|---|---| | §1 Dane osoby, która ma otrzymać dowód | pesel, imiona, nazwisko, nazwiskoRodowe, dataUrodzenia, miejsceUrodzenia, obywatelstwoPolskie, plec, imieOjca, imieMatki, nazwiskoRodoweMatki | All required — no "not obligatory" callout appears anywhere in this section | | §2 Dane kontaktowe wnioskodawcy | ulicaKorespondencyjna...miejscowoscKorespondencyjna, numerTelefonu, adresEmail, zgodaDanychKontaktowych, zgodaTelefonKomorkowy, zgodaAdresEmail, adresEpuap | All optional (see judgment call 1 below) | | §3 Powód ubiegania się | powodUbieganiaSie | Required (see judgment call 2 below) | | §4 Fotografia | photo (documents[]) | Required | | §5 Certyfikat podpisu osobistego | certyfikatPodpisuOsobistego | Optional | | §6 Oświadczenie, podpis | miejscowoscOswiadczenia, dataOswiadczenia | Required |

Total: 26 fields plus 1 documents[] entry (the photo). No exclusivityGroups or crossFieldValidation rules are modelled — every conditional relationship this cycle found is either an unconditional requirement or an advisory dependency disclosed in prose (judgment call 3 below), not a structural gate this cycle could independently confirm.

Access notes and judgment calls

1. The entire §2 "Dane kontaktowe wnioskodawcy" block (street through email) is modelled as optional, even though the form's own explicit "nie jest obowiązkowy" (not obligatory) callout text is printed only next to the phone and email fields, not the address fields. Reasoning: a dowód osobisty applicant's registered residence for pickup-office purposes is already known to the receiving office via the PESEL registry; this section is titled "Dane kontaktowe" (contact details, as opposed to §1's identity data) and groups the address fields with phone and email under one shared heading and one shared instructional sentence ("Wpisz poniżej adres do korespondencji" — simply "write your correspondence address below," with no obligatory marker). No source examined this cycle states the correspondence address itself is mandatory. Disclosed here for a future reviewer to re-confirm against a filled specimen or a walkthrough guide, the same discipline es/aeat/declaracion-censal-personas-fisicas-modelo-030 applies to its own unconfirmed sexoInteresado enum.
2. powodUbieganiaSie (reason for applying) is modelled as a single enum, even though the PDF implements its 14 options as 14 independent checkbox widgets, not one native PDF radio-button group (unlike, e.g., DGT's Modelo 01 tramiteType, whose export values GOV-1652 confirmed formed real linked radio groups). A citizen filing a genuine application has exactly one operative reason at a time (a card cannot simultaneously be a first-ever issuance and a loss report), so this document follows this registry's established convention of modelling a shared multi-purpose form's mutually-exclusive procedure list as one enum (co/runt/formulario-solicitud-tramites-vehiculo's tramiteType, es/dgt/solicitud-tramites-vehiculo's procedure enums) rather than 14 independent booleans plus an exclusivityGroups entry. Disclosed as an inference from real-world semantics, not from a PDF-native grouping this cycle could technically confirm.
3. zgodaTelefonKomorkowy and zgodaAdresEmail are modelled as independent optional booleans, with their logical dependency on zgodaDanychKontaktowych disclosed only in prose, not as a requiredWhen/visibleWhen gate. The form's own sentence structure ("Wyrażam zgodę na przekazanie... imienia, nazwiska, numeru PESEL oraz: [ ] numeru telefonu komórkowego [ ] adresu poczty elektronicznej") reads as one consent statement with two extension checkboxes, but nothing in the source states what happens if a sub-checkbox is marked while the parent consent is not — rather than fabricate a gate the source does not itself state, this document leaves all three independently settable, consistent with es/aeat/declaracion-censal-alta-actividad-economica- modelo-036's own preference for leaving an unconfirmed structural rule out rather than inventing one.
4. The clerk-only "Adnotacje urzędowe" block (page 2) is entirely out of scope. It records the identity-verification method used, a parent's/ guardian's/carer's name and surname when filing on behalf of a child or ward under 12, the identity document the clerk used, and whether fingerprints were taken — all completed by the receiving official, not supplied by the applicant, mirroring how es/aeat/declaracion-censal- alta-actividad-economica-modelo-036 excludes its own physical-signature line as non-applicant-supplied data.
5. The minor/ward (under-12, or a person unable to sign) application pathway is out of scope. The form's own "Adnotacje urzędowe" block references a parent/guardian/carer filing on a child's or ward's behalf, and Rozdział 2 of the governing regulation describes fingerprint collection only for applicants who have completed their 12th year of life — this document models the general (adult/standard) applicant pathway only; the distinct minor/no-fingerprint pathway and its own representative-identity fields are a candidate for a future revision.
6. No freshness window is modelled for the photo document. The regulation excerpt examined this cycle (§5 ust. 1-2) states the photo's format/resolution/size requirements but not a maximum age (a general "current photo" recency rule for Polish identity documents lives in the underlying Ustawa o dowodach osobistych's own art. 29, not the regulation excerpt read this cycle) — left absent rather than fabricated, consistent with this registry's convention of omitting an unconfirmed freshness.issuedWithin value rather than guessing one (e.g. kr/mois/resident-registration-card-reissuance's own confirmed P6M value was read directly from its source and is not a default to copy elsewhere).
7. No mediaTypes constraint is modelled for the photo document. The regulation excerpt gives a resolution, aspect ratio, and byte-size limit for the digital-filing pathway but does not name an accepted file format/media type in the portion read this cycle.
8. kodPocztowyKorespondencyjny and dataUrodzenia/dataOswiadczenia are each modelled as one normalized field, even though the PDF's own AcroForm splits each into multiple boxes (a 2-digit + 3-digit postal code pair; day/month/year date triples) — consistent with this registry's established convention for split date-of-birth and similar multi-box fields (e.g. es/aeat/declaracion-censal-alta-actividad- economica-modelo-036's single fechaInicioActividad date field).

Test run (Phase 3)

No live submission was attempted: the form's own paper-filing channel requires an in-person appointment at a gmina office, and the authenticated online channel (profil zaufany / mObywatel) requires a real Polish electronic-identity credential — submitting fabricated applicant data against Poland's live national identity register is not a safe or reversible action.

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

Scenario (committed fixture) — adult Polish citizen applying for her first-ever dowód osobisty, correspondence address and both contact-data consents partly supplied, no personal-signature certificate requested. pesel: "92030512345" (11 digits), imiona: "Katarzyna Maria", nazwisko: "Nowak", nazwiskoRodowe: "Nowak", dataUrodzenia: "1992-03-05", miejsceUrodzenia: "Kraków", obywatelstwoPolskie: true (satisfies the field's own eligibleValues: [true]), plec: "kobieta" (a valid enum member), imieOjca: "Andrzej", imieMatki: "Barbara", nazwiskoRodoweMatki: "Wiśniewska", a full correspondence-address block (kodPocztowyKorespondencyjny: "31-021", matching the NN-NNN pattern), numerTelefonu/adresEmail populated (adresEmail matches the field's email pattern), zgodaDanychKontaktowych: true with zgodaTelefonKomorkowy: true and zgodaAdresEmail: false (both independently settable per judgment call 3), powodUbieganiaSie: "pierwszy dowód" (a valid enum member), certyfikatPodpisuOsobistego: false, miejscowoscOswiadczenia: "Kraków", dataOswiadczenia: "2026-07-07", and the photo document supplied. A small Python script re-checked every required field is present and every validation.pattern/validation.enum rule is satisfied against schema.json directly (not just eyeballed) — zero errors.

Negative controls (each traced by hand against schema.json, not committed as separate fixture files): (a) pesel: "1234" — violates the 11-digit validation.pattern; (b) plec: "K" — violates validation.enum (only the literal "kobieta"/"mężczyzna" values are accepted, not an abbreviation); (c) kodPocztowyKorespondencyjny: "31021" (no hyphen) — violates the NN-NNN validation.pattern; (d) adresEmail: "not-an-email" — violates the email validation.pattern; (e) obywatelstwoPolskie: false — a well-formed boolean, but outside the field's own eligibleValues: [true], so a consumer should treat it as an eligibility/routing outcome rather than a data error, per GSP-0018; (f) omitting powodUbieganiaSie entirely — violates the field's own required: true. 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:
