Yes. You can authorise a natural person having capacity for legal transactions. Granting a power of attorney is subject to a fee of PLN 17, payable in cash at the cash desk of the tax authority (district/municipal office) with jurisdiction over the place where the document is submitted, or by electronic payment to the account of said authority. The power of attorney must be accompanied by proof of payment of the fee for the power of attorney. Granting a power of attorney to an immediate family member, i.e., a spouse, ascendant, descendant or sibling, is exempt from stamp duty.

It is a translation aid for a certificate from the National Criminal Register confirming that a person has no convictions. It is issued only upon request of a person who is a national of the Republic of Poland.
Pursuant to Article 24(1) of the National Criminal Register Act of 24 May 2000, the entities listed in Article 6(1)(1) to (9) and (11) and the central authorities of the European Union Member States requesting information for the purposes of conducting criminal or administrative proceedings are exempt from paying the fee.
Candidates for youth holiday camp supervisors or instructors who are volunteers are also exempt from the fee. They are obliged to provide the holiday camp organiser with information from the National Criminal Register in accordance with Article 92p(8)(1) of the Education System Act of 7 September 1991 (Journal of Laws of 2015, item 2156). A person wishing to take advantage of the above exemption should enclose a letter, prepared by the holiday camp organiser, confirming that he or she is a volunteer who is a candidate for a holiday camp supervisor or instructor.
Moreover, the current wording of the provision of Article 162(7) of the Act of 27 July 2001 Law on the Common Courts System (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 52, as amended) introduces the principle of obtaining a certificate from the National Criminal Record regarding persons standing as lay judge candidates on a free-of-charge basis.
In order to prevent persons who are not lay judge candidates from obtaining information without paying a fee, it is reasonable to require a lay judge candidate to attach to the request a document (certificate or statement) from the entity presenting the lay judge candidate confirming the fact that the person concerned is a lay judge candidate or, in the case of a submission made by a group composed of 50 citizens, from the person first named on the list (Article 162(6) of the above Act).
The regulations governing the operation of National Criminal Register do not specify a validity period for the certificate. In the majority of cases, said period results from the legal instruments that form the basis of the request for information.
Such an inquiry should be signed by a person authorised to represent the entity. If an entity is represented by more than one person acting jointly (e.g., two members of the management board acting jointly), the inquiry must be signed by each of them.
The expungement of convictions by Polish courts takes place in accordance with the rules laid down in the Criminal Code (Articles 76, 106a-108).

In item 12 (data type) you should indicate the file from which the information is to be provided. In the case of entities submitting an inquiry, the legal basis indicated in item 11 determines from which file the information may be provided. In the case of a request (that is, if the person inquiries about himself/herself), the type and number of files checked depends on the needs of the requesting person. No extra fee is charged for selecting several files.
There is no need to complete item 13. The extent of the data to be covered by personal information is determined by the provision that requires a certificate from the Register, if indicated in item 11 of the form.

The authorities in Hong Kong have declared that Certificates of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC), the equivalent of a criminal records check, can only be obtained for reasons relating to applications for a visa, to visit, or to reside in another country, or for the adoption of children.
