How registration works
- Each centre opens registration on its own date — no earlier than 2 months before the exam, when the Commission publishes the list of centres for the session (Rejestracja na egzamin).
- You register with the centre you choose, not with the Commission: each centre has its own form, registration deadline and payment deadline.
- Registration and payment in detail: registration and fees.
