When does a vehicle from Kazakhstan need OC graniczne in Poland?

OC graniczne is a Polish border motor third-party liability insurance contract. It may be used for a vehicle with Kazakhstan registration plates when entering Poland if the driver does not have a valid Green Card or another document confirming third-party liability insurance coverage in Poland. The policy covers liability towards third parties and does not insure damage to the vehicle itself. Eligibility depends on the vehicle category, documents, insurance start date and travel route.

When this policy is suitable

  • The vehicle is registered in Kazakhstan and temporarily enters Poland or is travelling to another EEA country or Switzerland.
  • On the date of entry, there is no valid Green Card recognized in Poland. (Instead of OC graniczne, you can purchase a Green Card from the Kazakhstan insurance broker DIONIS).
  • Proof of third-party liability insurance is required for use of the vehicle in Poland.
  • The journey continues from Poland to other countries included in the policy's territorial coverage.
  • The vehicle is used for a private, business or commercial trip, provided that its category is permitted under the insurer's rules.
  • A Green Card cannot be arranged before the trip, or an alternative insurance document is required to enter Poland.

How to arrange the insurance

  1. 01Select Kazakhstan as the country of vehicle registration.
  2. 02Provide the date of entry and the required insurance period.
  3. 03Upload a clearly readable vehicle registration document and the policyholder's details.
  4. 04Receive confirmation that the policy can be issued and the final price.
  5. 05Pay the insurance premium after the details have been checked.
  6. 06Receive the policy in PDF format and verify all details before the trip begins.

What determines the price

The cost of OC graniczne depends on the type of vehicle, the insurance period and the insurer's tariff. Rates for passenger cars, trucks, buses, trailers and other vehicle categories may differ. An estimated price can be checked in the online calculator, but the final price is confirmed after the documents and vehicle category have been verified.

Policy period and start date

The policy is issued for a specified period with a stated start date. The minimum available period is usually 30 days, while the possibility of arranging insurance for a longer period depends on the insurer's current tariffs. Insurance cannot be issued retroactively, so the application should be submitted before entering Poland.

Insurance application for a Kazakhstan-registered vehicle

In the application, provide the country of registration, travel route, insurance start date, vehicle type and details from the registration document. After verification, the manager will confirm whether OC graniczne can be issued or whether a Green Card would be more suitable for the trip.

Frequently asked questions

What insurance does a vehicle from Kazakhstan need to enter Poland?+
To enter Poland, the vehicle must have valid motor third-party liability insurance recognized in Poland. This may be a Green Card purchased from the Kazakhstan insurance broker DIONIS (https://dionis-insurance.kz/ru/green-card) or, if the eligibility requirements are met, a Polish OC graniczne policy.
Which is better: Green Card or OC graniczne?+
The choice depends on the route, duration of the trip and availability of the specific product. A Green Card is usually arranged before the trip and may cover several countries within the Green Card system. OC graniczne is a separate temporary insurance contract and is valid only within the territory specified in the policy (EEA countries and Switzerland only). Availability of a Green Card for a vehicle registered in Kazakhstan can be checked with the insurance broker DIONIS.
Does the Polish policy cover the entire route from Kazakhstan?+
No. OC graniczne is valid only in EEA countries and Switzerland. Transit countries before reaching the border of the European Economic Area must be checked separately, and local border insurance may need to be purchased for them. For example, if you transit through Russia, you can purchase an insurance policy from the Kazakhstan insurance broker DIONIS.
Is OC graniczne suitable for travelling from Poland to other EU countries?+
The policy may be used in other countries only if those countries are explicitly included in the territorial coverage stated in the policy. Before travelling, each country on the route should be checked against the policy.
Can insurance be arranged for a truck from Kazakhstan?+
Insurance may be available for trucks, but the tariff and eligibility for issuance depend on the vehicle category, its use, registration documents and the insurer's rules.
Can the policy be arranged entirely online?+
Yes. The application, document submission, calculation and delivery of the completed policy can be handled remotely. In some cases, additional manual verification of the documents may be required. According to guidance from the Polish Motor Insurers' Bureau (PBUK), the vehicle must physically be at the Polish border or within the territory of Poland.
What documents are required?+
Normally, you will need the vehicle registration document, registration number, VIN, make and model, vehicle type, policyholder details, insurance start date and insurance period.
When is the best time to submit the application?+
It is recommended to submit the application 1–2 business days before the planned entry into Poland. This allows time to verify the Kazakhstan registration documents, vehicle category and travel route.
How can I verify the issued policy?+
Once the insurance period has started, information about the Polish policy can be checked through the official UFG service. Before travelling, you should also independently verify the vehicle registration number, VIN, policy period and territorial coverage in the document you receive.
