Click a voivodeship to select it. You can select several. A zebra over the colour and “≈” mean fewer than 3 cases, so the value is very rough.
Łódź: residence card waiting times
How long people really wait for the fingerprint call, the decision and the card in Łódź (Łódź Voivodeship), how far the queue has come and what changed in recent months.
In short
- The longest wait among cases with no decision reported (updated in the last six months) is 4 mo 10 d since filing.
This summary is generated from data as of 03.11.2026 and recalculated for the selected filters. It is a guide, not official statistics. There are few cases, so the conclusions are very rough.
Each row is a case, sorted by filing date.
Grey is filing to fingerprints (a light notch marks the call), blue is fingerprints to decision, green is the card being made, and the ring is the day the card was picked up. People who filed in person gave fingerprints the same day, so they have no grey part.
A diamond on the bar marks a contact: hollow for something you did (documents brought, ponaglenie, questions), filled for something the office did (document requests, answers, case number). Hover for details.
A dotted line and a hollow square mark a date known ahead of time (fingerprint appointment, expected decision, card pickup slot); faded if that date has passed without confirmation.
A pale green bar ending in a dashed ring means the card was most likely collected: over 3 months have passed since the decision (nearly all cards come sooner), but nobody posted the date; the ring sits where the card is usually ready.
The green dashed line is 27.04.2026: from that day every application goes through MOS 2.
