The deadline for implementing e-deliveries has been postponed to October 1, 2024.

Electronic delivery is intended to streamline the process of service between public administration authorities, courts and non-public entities. At the same time, due to the provision of service by professional providers, it is intended to be reliable and secure.

Electronic delivery can be linked to:

• the public registered electronic delivery service, provided by the so-called designated operator (currently Poczta Polska S.A.) and used for e-communications between public and non-public entities and individuals;
• a qualified registered electronic delivery service, provided by private trust service providers and used for the transmission of electronic registered letters between non-public entities and individuals;
• a hybrid service, which is an intermediate stage between electronic and paper-based communication for the delivery of parcels which are electronic on the part of the sender, who is a public body, and paper-based on the part of the addressee. Thanks to this service, public bodies will be able to forward correspondence to recipients who do not have an electronic delivery address. Once the document is sent by the office, it will be printed and delivered by the designated operator.

For the purposes of electronic delivery, a database of electronic addresses (BAE) has been created and is maintained by the minister responsible for IT. The public entity should make electronic delivery to the address disclosed in the BAE.

E-delivery is to replace ePUAP and classic letters, including registered letters.

The effect of receiving an electronic message will be equal to the effect of receiving a registered postal letter.

The compulsory e-Delivery system is to be extended to public entities and persons exercising liberal professions (attorneys, legal counsels, notaries) and all entrepreneurs (both those operating on the basis of an entry in CEIDG and those conducting business in the form of a company).

The timetable for the introduction of the obligation to use the National Electronic Delivery System assumes that:

• non-public entities are obliged to introduce the System by:
• 1 October 2024 – persons exercising the professions of public trust: advocate, legal advisor, tax advisor, restructuring advisor, patent agent, notary public, and non-public entities registering in the KRS;
