As of 1 June 2024, we have introduced a new function in our portal - the possibility of verification of PESEL number blocking in the government register. Thanks to it, we provide even better protection on our web portal.
Why is it worth it to block your PESEL number?
Having your PESEL number blocked is a simple way to protect yourself from it being used without your knowledge. A fraudster might try to take out a loan in your name or open a payment account on your behalf.
Under what situations do we verify that your PESEL number has been blocked?
We verify whether you, as a consumer, have a blocked PESEL number before:
- Currency Lending sp. z o.o. lends you money,
- Conotoxia sp. z o.o. opens a payment account for you.
How to block the PESEL number?
PESEL number can be blocked:
- Online: in the mObywatel mobile app or at mObywatel.gov.pl
- In-person: at any municipality office
What can the PESEL number blocking register offer?
- Greater control over your data: You can check in the mObywatel mobile app or at mObywatel.gov.pl who has checked your PESEL number, when and for what reason.
- Possibility to unblock your PESEL number at any time: You can unblock your PESEL number for a period of your choice, for example, if you need to take out a loan or order a financial operation that requires verification of your identity.
- Peace of mind: knowing your PESEL number is protected will give you a much greater comfort.
