Go through the licensing process with Ramnext without stress or unnecessary paperwork. We help at every stage, from gathering the documents to obtaining taxi licence extracts in Sanok and the surrounding area, so you can quickly start working as an Uber, Bolt or Freenow driver.
Step by step
These are the steps you need to take to start working with Ramnext as a taxi driver.
1
Go to any vehicle inspection station (Stacja Kontroli Pojazdów) and ask for the additional taxi inspection for ride-hailing apps. To pass it, your car should have a taxi lamp, a spare wheel or repair kit, a warning triangle, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and a high-visibility vest. You can order a taxi lamp on Allegro.pl, and the inspection costs PLN 64.
2
After a successful inspection, the vehicle inspection station will give you a certificate. Take it to the vehicle registration department (wydział komunikacji), where an official will add the TAXI annotation to your registration certificate.
3
You can have the taxi driver tests done at any occupational medicine clinic. Based on the tests, you will receive a medical certificate and a psychological certificate confirming that you are fit to work as a taxi driver.
You can get the medical and psychological certificates at Nafta-Med

Price: PLN 400

4
Go to any district court and apply for a criminal record certificate in paper form, because the electronic version is not accepted. The certificate costs PLN 30, and in most cities it is issued on the spot.
The nearest place to get it is the KRK Information Point (Punkt Informacyjny KRK) at the Regional Court in Krosno (Sąd Okręgowy w Krośnie), ul. Sienkiewicza 12, 38-400 Krosno.
5
Have all your documents? You can submit the application in one of two ways. Choose the one that suits you - we describe both below.

This is the last step, after you have collected the licence extract. Mark your car according to Bolt's guide for Sanok and send 3 photos of the marked car and a photo of your third-party liability (OC) insurance policy to kontakt@ramnext.pl.

Driving a rented car?
The car is ready, so there is nothing for you to do with it: you skip steps 1 and 2 and do not need the registration certificate.
Step 5
Choose one of them. Both lead to the same result: a taxi licence extract for your car and your registration on the list of drivers at the city office.
Option 1
Free of charge
You do not need notarised copies. We will send you the ready applications to an InPost parcel locker at our expense.
1
Sign up in the driver portal, then complete and sign the contracts. Also download the rental agreement from the portal (Umowy tab → "Umowa najmu (Licencjonowanie)"), fill it in with the data from the registration certificate and sign it by hand.➝ Remember to add the co-owner (if listed in the registration certificate), who must also sign it.➝ For a leased car, you need the bank's consent to lend the vehicle free of charge to Ramnext Sp. z o.o.
2
Send photos of your documents to kontakt@ramnext.pl and give us the number of your InPost parcel locker:3
At our expense, we will send to the parcel locker you choose: the application for a licence extract for your car, the application to register you as a taxi driver under our licence, a power of attorney and the confirmation of receipt of the licence extract.
4
With the applications, the power of attorney, the completed rental agreement, the original documents and a 35 × 45 mm photo, go to the City Office in Sanok, Social Affairs and Education Department (Urząd Miasta Sanoka, Rynek 1) and submit the application free of charge. You do not pay anything. The criminal record certificate must not be older than 30 days on the day you submit the application.
5
The office has 30 days to issue the extract. Once you collect it, send us a photo of the extract and of the signed confirmation of receipt of the licence extract.
Option 2
Cost of notarised copies
We submit the application at the city office for you. You send us the documents from an InPost parcel locker, at our expense.

City requirements
To legally operate as a taxi in Sanok, your car must meet specific signage requirements. The city sets out precisely which elements must be on the car. Correct signage is not just a formality but an obligation checked by the Road Transport Inspection (Inspekcja Transportu Drogowego). Missing or incorrect signage can result in a fine or even problems with continuing to carry passengers. Below we show exactly what taxi signage should look like in Sanok.
The TAXI lamp is one of the most recognisable elements of taxi signage. It should be mounted on the roof of the car. The lamp is usually magnetic and, for app-based work, does not need to be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket.
Available online at Allegro.pl
Price: approx. PLN 50
Side numbers should be placed in the middle of the front right and left doors of the vehicle. In Sanok, side numbers have a set design with the city coat of arms. They can be stickers or magnetic overlays, which many drivers choose and which are also fully allowed.

In Sanok, the taxi driver ID card is issued by the City Office together with the taxi licence extract. It should be placed inside the vehicle where passengers can see it. Most drivers put the ID card on the dashboard so that customers can easily read the details during the ride.
For the ID card you need a passport-style photo (35 × 45 mm), the same as for a Polish ID card - have it ready together with your documents.
In Sanok, price lists are placed on the windows of the rear doors (right and left), in their upper corner.
