Summary/Abstract: The aim of the presented paper is to analyse the legal framework for the functioning of e-government in Poland and then briefly point out the barriers of its further development and challenges which have to be faced. The e-government creating process started in Poland in 2001. The passing of Act of February 17, 2005 on cybernation of Operation of Entities Performing Public Duties was of great importance to that process. The electronic platform of the services of public administration (ePUAP) was launched finally in 2011–2012. However, several problems undoubtedly slowed down the pace of implementing the e-government. The authors try to show that the organizational culture in the public administration offices as well as the attitudes among the society are the obstacles to make the full use of opportunities which can be given by current legal and technical solutions concerning e-government in Poland.
