mObywatel update 4.93.1 required by 16 November 2026

How to check and update

If automatic app updates are on, the latest version should download without any action. Still, it is worth checking manually, especially if automatic updates are disabled or the phone has not installed new versions for a long time.

The version number is inside the app. Open mObywatel, go to the "Więcej" (More) tab, then choose "O aplikacji" (About the app) in the "Pozostałe" (Other) section. The number is also shown in the bottom right corner of the login screen.

If it reads 4.93.1 or higher, nothing needs to be done. Otherwise, open Google Play on Android or the App Store on iPhone, search for mObywatel and tap "Aktualizuj" (Update).

Why the change matters

The certificate is tied to the secure operation of the app and its communication with state infrastructure. The renewal also covers the mobywatel.gov.pl domain. That matters mainly for companies and institutions using services under that domain, such as api.mobywatel.gov.pl. They should review their integrations and make sure they do not rely on one specific SSL certificate that is about to expire.

What happens without the update

Missing the deadline will not mean permanent loss of access. After 16 November, however, anyone trying to log in with an outdated version will see a message about the need to install a newer one. The update must then be downloaded from the app store before the app can be used again.

Checking takes only a few seconds and avoids being locked out of digital documents and public services at the moment they are needed.
