GUS form: checking contact details and saving a PDF copy before submission
What to check in the address, repeated email and telephone fields, and how a PDF copy differs from confirmation of submission.
This guide covers only checking the address and contact details and keeping a copy of the form before submission. It is based on the official application form for a classification interpretation from the Statistical Office in Łódź.
Check the address details required
The form instructions state that you must provide:
- street name,
- house number,
- apartment or unit number,
- town or locality name,
- postal code.
These are the address details specified by the office, not additional requirements introduced by this guide.
Compare the email address and telephone number with the repeated entries
The form requires the email address to be entered again. If the email addresses differ, the value in the repeated field will be deleted.
The same rule applies to the contact person's telephone number: you must enter it again, and if the numbers differ, the value in the repeated field will be deleted.
It is therefore worth comparing each pair of entries before submission. Comparing them using the checklist below is an organizational recommendation, not a separate legal requirement.
Verify that the contact details are correct
The office includes the following request, translated from Polish:
To enable proper processing of the application, please verify that the contact details entered are correct before submitting the application.
Checking the details before submission is therefore a recommendation included in the form.
Save a PDF copy if you want to keep the completed details
Before submitting the form, you can save a PDF copy on your own device. Use the icon next to the application name. GUS recommends using this option to keep confirmation that the details have been filled in. This is an option and a recommendation, not an obligation to save a copy.
A PDF copy is not confirmation that the application has been submitted. The instructions describe it as confirmation that the details have been filled in; they do not assign it the function of confirming submission, receipt or processing of the application. Saving a copy before submission should not be confused with any of those events.
Optional checklist
The following checklist is solely an organizational suggestion:
- Compare the address entered with the details you intend to provide, including the street, house number, apartment or unit number, town or locality, and postal code.
- Compare the email address in both fields and check that it is correct.
- Compare the contact person's telephone number in both fields and check that it is correct.
- If you want to keep confirmation that the details have been filled in, use the option to save a PDF copy on your own device before submission.
