If you are of Polish descent, you may be eligible to confirm your Polish citizenship and get Polish passport.

If you have a Polish parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent, you may be wondering whether you are eligible for Polish citizenship by descent.
\nFor many people with Polish ancestry, the answer is likely yes\u2014but please keep in mind that Polish citizenship by descent is not simply a matter of proving that you have Polish ancestry. The key question is whether Polish citizenship was legally passed down through your family from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Polish genealogy archives are organized into three main systems, and knowing which one holds the record you need is the single biggest time-saver in tracing your family tree. Older vital records generally end up in the state archives (Archiwa Pa\u0144stwowe), church baptism, marriage, and burial registers (Ksi\u0119gi Metrykalne) are held by the parish or a diocesan archive, and the newest records \u2014 roughly the last century \u2014 stay with a local civil registry office (Urz\u0105d Stanu Cywilnego, or USC), which restricts access far more tightly. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Confirmation of Polish citizenship (potwierdzenie posiadania obywatelstwa polskiego) is the official administrative procedure that legally recognises you have held Polish citizenship continuously, usually since birth, through a Polish ancestor. It is a declaratory decision, not a grant of new citizenship: the Voivodeship Office (Urz\u0105d Wojew\u00f3dzki) simply confirms a status the law says you already have. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Polish citizenship for children born abroad works on a simple, well-established principle: if at least one parent holds Polish citizenship at the moment the child is born, the child automatically becomes a Polish citizen too, by the right of blood (ius sanguinis), no matter where in the world the birth takes place. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
