Gawkowski said the service would make Poland the first country in Europe to offer fully electronic vehicle registration.
He announced the plans at the opening of the “Digital Local Government” conference at the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw on Thursday.
Gawkowski said the Ministry of Digital Affairs had held 16 regional meetings with local government representatives in recent months. Participants included mayors, municipal officials, directors and operational staff.
“Cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital skills and the development of online public services. These are the four pillars of the 16 meetings, which we want to expand in the future,” Gawkowski said, announcing that consultations with local authorities would continue in 2027.
He referred to digitalisation programmes for local governments, loans for digital projects provided through state development bank BGK, and an additional PLN 3 billion (EUR 706 million) for local government cybersecurity under programmes of the Security and Protection Fund over five years.
“The billions of złoty allocated to Cybersecure Local Government, Cybersecure Waterworks, Local Cybersecurity Centres and operational support are simply what you have deserved after all these years,” Gawkowski said.
He said local cybersecurity was essential to the reliable provision of basic services, including water, electricity and gas.
Poland's Digitalisation Strategy, adopted in June 2026, sets a goal of making central and local government administration paperless by 2035.
“Digitalisation is not an end in itself. It should serve citizens by making public services more efficient, improving security, reducing paperwork and enhancing quality of life,” the minister said.
