A method for manufacturing a polarizing plate in which a transparent protective film is provided on at least one surface of a polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween, wherein an adhesive is coated on a surface of the transparent protective film on which the adhesive layer is formed or/and a surface of the polarizer on which the adhesive layer is formed to form the adhesive layers, and thereafter, an aqueous liquid is caused to be present on an adhering surface when the transparent protective film and the polarizer are continuously adhered to each other with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween. A polarizing plate having uniform polarization characteristics, and excellent in durability is obtained by the method.
