Polish Citizenship

Polish Citizenship – Legal Services

We assist clients with Polish citizenship matters—from choosing the right procedure, through collecting and organising documents, to preparing applications and providing ongoing support throughout the case. We handle both domestic and cross-border matters, including cases involving documents and circumstances spanning multiple countries.

1) Obtaining Polish citizenship

We advise and handle cases under the two main procedures:

• Grant of Polish citizenship by the President of the Republic of Poland – preparation of the application, supporting statement, and a complete set of documents;

• Recognition as a Polish citizen by the Voivode (regional governor) – assessment of eligibility requirements, preparation of the application and attachments, and support throughout the administrative proceedings.

In practice, we ensure the application is coherent, complete, and ready for submission, minimising the risk of requests for additional documents.

2) Confirmation of Polish citizenship

We represent clients in proceedings to confirm Polish citizenship, based on family and official records, including in particular:

• organising the evidentiary file (civil status records, family documents, archival materials),

• drafting the application and legal reasoning,

• assistance with supplements, explanations, and correspondence with the authority.

This path is often crucial where citizenship derives from family history and must be demonstrated through documentary evidence.

3) Loss and renunciation of Polish citizenship

We advise on matters relating to:

• renunciation of Polish citizenship,

• the legal consequences of renunciation (also for family members),

• preparation of applications and documents, as well as planning next steps (e.g., residence status, documentation, family matters).

4) Family and cross-border support

Citizenship matters frequently overlap with family circumstances and foreign documents. We assist, among others, with:

• matters concerning children, spouses, and family members of applicants,

• handling foreign documents (including practical formal requirements, sworn translations, and consistency of personal data),

• organising civil status and family records so they can be effectively used in the proceedings

How we work

• Initial assessment and selection of the appropriate procedure (President / Voivode / confirmation).

• Document checklist and guidance on obtaining missing records.

• Preparation of the application including a supporting statement and a well-structured evidentiary package.

• Ongoing support during the proceedings (requests for additional documents, supplements, explanations, correspondence).
