Description:
Watermark:
None
Document number:
One letter in plain printing and 7 numbers in letterpress printing (Arrow 1)

The paper remains dark, the document number becomes light red, on the inner pages the letter combination “PL”, appears 6 times; on the front page, (Arrow 3) there is a pattern consisting of intertwined ellipses .
N.B.: The security features visible under UV light (particularly on the outer page) are sometimes partially or even completely absent on genuine documents, above all, if the driving licence has been covered with protective foil or kept in a transparent pouch. The UV-reactive colours can be attacked or even destroyed in such cases.
Print quality:
Micro lettering (Arrow 2), original document text and also the micro lettering is of quite poor quality.
On Page 4, many complete forgeries can be distinguished from originals by the letter “z” in the words “urzedowe” (at the top) or “Pouczenie” (at the bottom).
