Delays in Issuing Ukrainian ID Cards in Poland Frustrate Refugees

Delays in Issuing Ukrainian ID Cards in Poland Cause Frustration for Refugees WARSAW, POLAND – Ukrainian refugees in Poland are facing significant delays in receiving their identification cards, causing widespread frustration and uncertainty. One woman, speaking in a recent video, expressed her disappointment at the lack of communication from authorities. "They promised these cards a year ago," she stated, "but nothing has happened. There is no information at all." The woman's concerns highlight a systemic issue affecting thousands of Ukrainian refugees. She explained that the current process requires applicants to demonstrate employment, business ownership, or family reunification to obtain the necessary documentation. This requirement leaves many refugees in precarious legal situations, unable to access essential services. The Polish government has yet to release an official statement addressing these delays. However, the widespread frustration expressed by refugees underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for transparent communication and a more efficient process for issuing ID cards.
