Terms of use

You describe a problem with a Polish public office, or with a landlord, a seller or someone who owes you money, in your own words. We identify who has to answer, retrieve the relevant provisions from the Sejm's official register of legislation, and produce a formal letter in Polish. You read it, correct it, download it and send it yourself.

The service is free and requires no account.

Respubliko helps you write. It does not advise you. Using it does not create a lawyer–client relationship, and nobody here is acting as your legal representative.

The letter cites provisions that were retrieved and checked to be in force, but we do not warrant that a provision applies to your particular situation — that judgement is exactly what a lawyer is for. If your case is complex, contested, or a deadline is close, get a person to look at it. Every result page lists organisations that give free legal help.

When the system cannot classify your problem or cannot ground a letter in law we hold, it says so instead of guessing.

Nothing you produce here is filed with any authority by us. We do not have your ePUAP or e-Doręczenia credentials, we do not post letters, and we never act in your name.

This matters more than it may sound. Polish administrative filings go through ePUAP or e-Doręczenia, and a person who wrongly believes their letter was already filed can miss a statutory deadline — losing a right for no reason other than a misunderstanding. Downloading a letter is not filing it. Filing it is your step, and it is not done until you do it.

The text is produced by an AI model working from provisions we retrieved. It is checked mechanically — a letter may only cite law that was actually supplied to it, and citations are verified against acts confirmed still in force — but mechanical checks catch invented law, not wrong judgement.

Read it before you send it. Check the facts, the dates and the office it is addressed to. We never calculate whether a deadline has been met, because an appeal period usually runs from the date a decision was delivered to you and the decision itself prints the date it was issued — those differ, and only you know the first one. Where a date matters and you are unsure, the letter leaves a blank rather than making a claim.

Respubliko writes formal letters to public bodies, and to landlords, sellers and others who owe you something. It must not become an instrument for harming people.

You may not use it to threaten anyone, to harass or target a private individual, to make claims you know to be false, or to generate volumes of correspondence intended to obstruct an office rather than resolve a matter.

A grievance is not a threat, and a strongly worded complaint about an official's conduct is exactly the kind of letter this exists to help write. The line is between pressing a case and targeting a person. Requests that cross it are refused, and the refusal is deliberately cautious — if we get that judgement wrong in your case, tell us.

The service is provided free of charge, as it is, and may be changed, interrupted or withdrawn. It is a pilot funded by an Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowship, and we have committed to keeping it freely available for at least one year.

We are liable for damage we cause intentionally or by gross negligence, and for anything that cannot be excluded by law — which under Polish consumer law includes rather more than a clause like this can wave away. Nothing here limits your statutory rights. We are not liable for the consequences of a letter you chose to send, since you read it, may edit it, and file it yourself.

These terms are governed by Polish law. If a clause turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stands.
