Where is the Polish radio licence application filed?
- By post to UKE in Gdynia (ul. Kielecka 103) or electronically by e-Delivery. Applications sent by ordinary e-mail are not accepted (UKE, page last updated 6 August 2026).
What does the Polish radio licence cost with us?
- From €149 (Standard) or €199 (Express, EPIRB registration included), with the official UKE fees of PLN 82 + 17 included. A ship station pays no annual fees.
What you need
- Polish registration document (REJA24) – a scan is enough. Not registered yet? Choose the package with registration.

Where the application is filed in 2026
According to UKE’s own page (last updated 6 August 2026), the RM-S application goes by post to UKE, ul. Kielecka 103, 81-650 Gdynia, or electronically through e-Delivery (e-Doręczenia). Applications sent by ordinary e-mail are not accepted, and a power of attorney attached to an electronic application must carry an electronic signature.
The Warsaw address ul. Giełdowa 7/9, still shown on an older English UKE page, is UKE’s head office contact address – not where applications go. The official fees are paid to the City of Warsaw as two separate transfers: PLN 82 for the licence and PLN 17 for the power of attorney. UKE decides within up to 6 weeks (42 days) of a complete application; the licence is valid for up to 10 years.
