Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am no longer trading in tobacco products, and still receiving mail about changing the incorrect addresses.
Persons who have terminated their business activities related to the trade in tobacco products may de-register their Economic operators and Facilities (in the case of manufacturers, also Machines).
Details of de-registration are available
here.
I receive e-mails about the verification of facility type.
The Ministry of Finance identified a significant number of entities in the Track & Trace system whose retail outlets (shops, kiosks, etc.)
or warehouses have been incorrectly registered as "Manufacturing Site with Warehouse" instead of "Retail Outlet" or "Independent Warehouse".
Facilities can search by filtering them by type
Search facilities
If the search returns results with an incorrect facility type, please edit the facility according to the instruction
Edit facility.
We also encourage you to read the information on the MF website

What to do if you move your business to a new location?
The existing facility in the old premises (retail outlet, warehouse, manufacturing site with warehouse) must be deregistered and then a new facility must be registered with a new address.
Facilities with the old address format must be updated to the new format before being deregistered. A guide can be found
here
What to do if a facility (or economic operator) was registered twice by mistake?
In this case, one of the objects must be deregistered. When trading tobacco products, it is essential to use one code (the active object).
Duplicated facilities

After registration the operator/facility registration option is not visible
The user does not have authorization to use the functionalities that they wish to.

How to transmit a file containing a list of counterparties to be registered in the system?
There is no possibility of importing a data file to the system.
There are two ways of accessing the ID Issuer system:
- By the https://www.idissuer.pl/ website
- By the API interface – in auto mode, directly between the systems. In such a case, it will be necessary to modify your existing system or build a dedicated system to communicate with the ID Issuer.
Where can I find the documentation applicable to the API system and/or interface?
What characters should the password consist of?
The password must consist of at least 8 characters and include at least one character from each of the following sets: numbers (0-9), small letters (a-z), capital letters (A-Z), special characters (;,!).

Whom are the identifiers of unit pack and aggregate packaging intended for?
Unit pack identifiers will be applied at the manufacturing stage of the tobacco products. Therefore, identifiers will be only requested by manufacturers of tobacco products.
Identifiers of aggregate packaging will be used for marking aggregate packaging and batches of goods in distribution; the identifier codes may be requested by manufacturers
and other operators distributing tobacco products. To request the identifier codes, it is necessary to enter into an agreement with PWPW for the performance of such services
against payment and obtain relevant authorizations in the system.
The following error notification appeared while filling out the form: “Field validation error ISO 8859-15. Complete the field without using diacritics.”. What does it indicate?
Such notification will be generated when invalid characters are used in a given field. No language-specific characters (diacritics) should be used in the forms (e.g. ó, ż).
I did not receive a confirmation e-mail after registering the operator/facility.
Please check other folders in your inbox (SPAM, notifications, other). It should be noted that the processing of applications may take up to 24 hours since they were submitted.
I made an error while filling out the application. What can I do?
You should use the option “Request for data editing” on the list of economic operators/facilities in order to amend your application.
In specific cases, you can also use the option “Request for de-registration”. Details of the operator/facility will still be available in the system but their status will change to “inactive”.
I am a member of a commercial network that registered an outlet managed by me.
Pursuant to the applicable provisions of law, it is possible for a retail outlet to be registered in the ID Issuer system by a commercial network that it operates in.
In such a case, a confirmation of registration in the ID Issuer system will be sent to the e-mail address of the retail outlet.
The commercial network should inform its partners about the registration. Should any doubts arise (e.g. with respect to the validity of data),
please contact the representative of your commercial network and request clarification in this respect.
Where I can find information about structure of the unique identifiers?
Structure of the unit packet unique identifiers has been described in the documemt which can be found in dedicated help section
