Polygraph test for court
A polygraph examination can support your credibility in a case — but let’s be clear about what it is: in Poland the result is supporting evidence, not a verdict. We explain honestly what it can and cannot do.
General information, not legal advice.
What weight the result carries
In Polish practice the result is a supporting (auxiliary) piece of evidence, assessed under the free evaluation of evidence. It cannot be the sole basis for attributing guilt — the court weighs it together with everything else. More in our guide, is a polygraph evidence in court.
The legal basis
The Code of Criminal Procedure addresses the examination directly: art. 192a (eliminatory phase, with consent) and art. 199a (an expert examination, only with the consent of the person examined). It must never be used during questioning, and consent is always required.
When it makes the most sense
It works best on one clear, specific issue — supporting a defence line, corroborating a party’s version, or providing material for a lawyer in a civil, family or criminal matter. How a report can be challenged is covered in can a polygraph result be challenged.
How we prepare it
