Business registration in the BDO register

BDO registration starts by identifying why your business needs to register. We assess waste, packaging, imports, products and transport, prepare the appropriate application and submit it through BDO. The entire process is handled online, and you receive clear guidance on your obligations after a number is issued.

BDO registration step by step

From assessment to registration number

One process, four clear stages

We first establish what your business actually does, then choose the appropriate application sections.

1
Obligation assessmentWe check waste, packaging, imports, sales and transport.
2
Business classificationWe identify the sections, tables and information that match your actual operations.
3
Application and power of attorneyWe prepare the complete information and represent your business before the regional authority.
4
Submission and next stepsWe submit the application within 24 hours of receiving all required information. Processing time depends on the authority.

Please note: a BDO number does not always end your obligations. After registration, you may still need to keep records, handle KPO/KEO documents, update your details and submit an annual BDO report.

Who should check their BDO registration obligations?

Six reasons to check

These situations do not replace an individual assessment, but indicate when it is worth checking your BDO registration obligations.

You generate non-municipal waste

This includes manufacturing, construction, workshops and some medical practices. The scope also depends on applicable exemptions.

You place packaged products on the market

Retail and online sales, imports or packaging activities may create packaging obligations.

You transport or collect waste

Transporting other businesses’ waste is a separate activity requiring its own assessment.

You supply regulated products

Batteries, accumulators, electrical equipment, tyres, oils and vehicles fall under separate register sections.

You collect or process waste

Your registration should match your permits and actual scope of operations.

Your business activity code is not enough

A Polish business activity code (PKD) or legal structure does not determine the obligation. Your actual business model matters.

Information current as of 12 August 2026. We assess the registration scope using your business activities and current information from the BDO system. Official BDO system.

Clear answers

Common questions about BDO registration

How can I check whether my business needs BDO registration?

You need to assess the actual waste generated, sales of packaged products, imports and waste-related services. A business activity code or company size alone does not provide a reliable answer.

How long does BDO registration take?

We submit a complete application within 24 hours of receiving all required information. The time taken to issue a BDO number depends on the relevant regional authority and any requests for additional information.

Can I register my business after the deadline?

Yes. We first confirm the scope of the obligation and prepare the correct application. Filing late does not by itself determine the legal consequences, which is why it is best to address the situation promptly.

Does the BDO number need to appear on every document?

There is no single answer for all businesses and documents. The requirement depends on the basis of registration and the document type. We explain it after assessing your activities.

Does obtaining a BDO number end all obligations?

Not always. Depending on your registration scope, obligations may remain for records, KPO/KEO documents, reports, product fees or updates to your details.
