Dear users,
the electronic mailbox is designed as an official tool for communicating with public administration. If you need to send a submission, e.g. a request from a public authority (court, various authorities, social insurance office, etc.), you can do so using an electronic mailbox.
Natural persons, natural persons – entrepreneurs and legal persons cannot communicate with each other but only with public authorities. If you want to replace the paper form of communication with public authorities for online communication, you need to activate your electronic mailbox for delivery for official documents.

In the case of natural persons and natural persons – entrepreneurs, the activation of the electronic mailbox is voluntary, so you can decide whether to activate the mailbox for delivery or not. If you keep the mailbox inactivated, the public authorities are obliged to deliver the official document applicable for legal purposes (by post office). Anyway, you can send submissions to public authorities electronically via electronic mailbox even if it is not activated for delivery.
Legal entities registered in the Commercial Register and public authorities; they have an electronic mailbox activated for delivery automatically by law.
