E-Delivery: How to Set Up a Mailbox
Setting up an E-Delivery mailbox is now mandatory for all entrepreneurs. This comprehensive guide walks you through each step of the registration process, from choosing your authentication method to configuring notifications.
What You Need Before Starting
Before you set up your E-Delivery mailbox, make sure you have:
- Your company's tax identification number (NIP)
- Your company registration number from CEIDG
- A valid email address
- A phone number for notifications
- One of the accepted authentication methods (see below)
Accepted Authentication Methods
1. Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany)
The most popular and user-friendly option. To obtain a Trusted Profile, visit any post office or city/county office and present your ID document. The profile is activated immediately and allows you to access numerous government e-services.
2. Electronic ID (eID)
If you have a national ID card with eID functionality (issued after 2015), you can use it for authentication. You'll need an eID reader.
3. Qualified Electronic Signature (e-podpis)
A digital signature issued by qualified providers like Certum, SafeQ, or Unizeto. Commonly used by larger companies.
4. Company Portal Credentials
Some businesses can use existing accounts from the CEIDG portal or tax authority systems.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
Step 1: Access the E-Delivery Portal
Go to e-doręczenia.gov.pl or access E-Delivery through the ePUAP system (Electronic Platform for Public Administration Services).
Step 2: Log In
Click "Log In" and select your preferred authentication method. If using Trusted Profile, enter your username and password. Follow the prompts to authenticate.
Step 3: Register a New Mailbox
After authentication, select "Create New Mailbox" or "Register Organization". You'll be asked to enter:
- Your company name (exactly as registered in CEIDG)
- Tax ID number (NIP)
- Email address for notifications
- Mobile phone number
- Representative details (if not registering personally)
Step 4: Set Notification Preferences
Choose how you want to be notified when documents arrive:
- Email notifications: Receive an email when a new document arrives
- SMS notifications: Get a text message alert
- Mobile app notifications: Enable push notifications
Step 5: Authorize Representatives
If someone else (accountant, employee, lawyer) will manage your mailbox, add them as an authorized representative:
- Go to "Settings" → "Manage Access"
- Add their email address or phone number
- Choose their access level (full access, read-only, etc.)
- They'll receive an invitation to accept the role
Step 6: Test Your Mailbox
Before documents begin arriving, send yourself a test message to verify:
- You receive notifications correctly
- You can read documents in the mailbox
- Document downloads work properly
Step 7: Download the Mobile App (Optional)
For easy access on the go, download the official E-Delivery app (available on iOS and Android). Log in with your credentials to view documents anywhere.
