Do you need to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from an authority?
If you are handling a matter on Biznes.gov.pl and the authority has responded to you electronically, you can sign an Official Proof of Delivery (UPD).
A UPD is an acknowledgement that you have received a letter sent electronically by the authority in response to your application.
You can sign the UPD with a trusted profile only.

What matters can you not handle on Biznes.gov.pl?
Biznes.gov.pl continues to expand the base of matters that can be handled through online services.
Be aware, however, that some services require the use of other websites to which you will be redirected, or, for example, the use of paper documents without the option to send scans.
On Biznes.gov.pl you cannot use services:
- for which there are specific rules for submitting an application or letter, for example, dedicated services such as e-Declarations or PUE ZUS
- for which there are barriers to electronic handling; for example, regulations require that the application be submitted in writing or in person, or that a document that the applicant does not have in electronic form be attached, and attaching a scan is not acceptable.
