On April 24, 2017, the Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs has activated a new e-service entitled "Check your penalty points", which allows every driver to verify their actual sum of penalty points earned for traffic offenses.
What is important, the new on-line service is available for FREE on the government portal https://obywatel.gov.pl.
Aside from the amount of the penalty points, each driver can also verify additional informations, such as the date/place of the traffic offense, and the type, brand and the registration number of vehicle involved.

In order to use the service safely, the drivers ought to set up a trusted eGO profile by filling up the on-line registration form, available at the https://pz.gov.pl website and the majority of the commercial bank's account sites, such as PKO BP.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs  warns the drivers about the illegal/fake websites which appeared on the Internet offering information on the state of penalty points via paid SMS service. In reality it is just an another way of extorting money from unsuspecting Internet users.
