The register of postal operators
In Poland, postal activity subject to registration, which the register shows covers parcel and courier carriers as well as letter distributors, requires entry in the Register of Postal Operators (Rejestr operatorów pocztowych, ROP), kept by the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE). UKE publishes the register as open data under CC BY 4.0. The file of 1 October 2026 contains 236 entries. Each shows the ROP number, the date of entry, the operator's name and address, legal form, KRS or business register reference, NIP, the declared operating area and any suspension.
Who is in the register
| Legal form | Entries |
|---|---|
| Limited liability companies (sp. z o.o.) | 140 |
| Sole traders | 68 |
| Cooperatives (spółdzielnie) | 9 |
| Partnerships of various kinds | 13 |
| Joint-stock companies | 4 |
| Foundations | 2 |
Leaving out the sole traders, about 170 organisations remain: the national parcel networks and express integrators, parcel locker and out-of-home delivery operators, e-commerce delivery subsidiaries, regional couriers and companies distributing letters and advertising mail in one or a few voivodeships.
Operating areas
Operators declare where they work. About 82 entries declare the whole of Poland only, and about 116 also declare operations abroad (Zagranica); the rest name one or more voivodeships. About 31 entries show a suspension of postal activity.
Entry dates
The oldest ROP entries in the file date from 2004, and large carriers such as DPD Polska and UPS Polska were entered that year. Entries continue every year, with 27 new entries in 2026 so far.
How the list is used
- Parcel locker, sorting and scanning equipment vendors sell to operators of every size.
- Shipping software and marketplace integrators look for regional carriers to add to their networks.
- Foreign carriers and e-commerce logistics firms find Polish partners for last-mile delivery.
