Poland: GIIF changes reporting schemas for notarial activities and transactions

In brief

• What: new XSD schemas for reporting to GIIF — notarial activities and transactions reported to GIIF only.
• Who issues it: the General Inspector of Financial Information (GIIF), Ministry of Finance (Poland).
• Status / timing: published; in force from 15 June 2026 (transactions reported to GIIF only) and from 30 June 2026 (notarial activities reported to GIIF and the Head of KAS).

What changes

GIIF (Notice No. 110) amends the XSD schemas used for reporting. The real-estate schema adds new fields: the land register number, a structured plot identifier, the number of rooms, the floor, the usable floor area and the built-up property area; for natural persons, a field for the country issuing the identity document is added. The “GIIF-only” transaction schema changes the format of the transaction identifier field. The legal basis is the Act of 17 October 2025 (Dz.U. 2025 item 1669); the schemas are registered in CRWDE under numbers 2026/04/28/14250 and 2026/04/30/14252.

Who is affected

Notaries and obliged entities reporting transactions to GIIF, as well as vendors of SI*GIIF reporting software.

What it means for non-financial firms

This is a technical change whose direct addressees are notaries and entities reporting to GIIF — it imposes no new obligation on a typical non-financial firm. It is worth noting for two reasons. First, it shows how granularly the state collects data on property-market transactions (down to the land register number and floor area) — relevant context for anyone in real estate. Second, it is a reminder that AML obligations in Poland do not end with banks. If you are unsure whether your firm falls under a sanction screening obligation, this is a good moment to check — and we cover the legal basis of sanctions packages here.

What’s next

After 15 and 30 June 2026, only the new schemas apply — reporting-software vendors must update their integrations. Full notice: GIIF Notice No. 110.
