formularz

The term formularz, used in Polish, refers to a form or questionnaire—a document containing fields to be filled out, either on paper or electronically. It is used to collect information for administrative, commercial, or statistical purposes.

Common types include application forms, registration forms, tax forms, consent forms, surveys, and orders.

A typical formularz includes fields such as name, address, date of birth, and identifiers, along with labels, instructions, and accompanying notes. In digital forms, fields may support validation, formatting rules, required fields, and interactive elements like drop-down menus or checkboxes. A form may require a signature or consent.

Forms are used by governments, businesses, schools, and nonprofit organizations to standardize data collection, process requests, issue licenses, or record transactions.

Design considerations emphasize clarity, minimal mandatory data, accessibility, and privacy. Good form design arranges fields logically, uses plain language, provides error messages, and ensures compatibility with assistive technologies.

In multilingual settings, forms may be provided in several languages. In data-protection contexts, the collection of information via a form typically triggers privacy notices and compliance with laws such as GDPR.
