What this document is
The CUKR card, a residence card marked “Poprzednio posiadacz ochrony czasowej”, is for Ukrainian citizens with UKR status. Since 4 May 2026 the application is filed only electronically through MOS, the deadline is 4 March 2027, and the PESEL number must carry UKR status on the day of application, on 4 June 2025 and on the day of issue, with the status unbroken for at least 365 days. The card is valid for 3 years from issue and should be issued within 180 days.

- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background; colour photo not older than 6 months.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Poland-specific things to know
- Same photograph rules as the Polish residence permit — the CUKR card is a residence card issued to former holders of temporary protection
- Applications are filed electronically through the MOS portal
