Foreign civil record transcription in Poland
We help you transfer a foreign birth, marriage or death record into the Polish civil register, preparing the request and organising the supporting documents.
Your first enquiry is free. A paid consultation is optional.
Who this service is for
For people who need a Polish civil registry record based on an event registered abroad, including records used in residence or citizenship matters.
What we do for you
- Review the foreign certificate and the purpose of transcription.
- Identify document, translation and authentication requirements.
- Prepare the request to the civil registry office.
- Assist with correspondence concerning the transcription.
Useful information for our first conversation
- The foreign civil status certificate
- Identity details of the person concerned
- Information about any spelling or name differences in the records
This is an introduction to the information we discuss, not a complete filing checklist. You do not need to send sensitive documents with your first enquiry.
Transcription is a separate civil registry procedure
A translation alone is not a Polish registry entry. We review the foreign record and explain the documents needed for the transcription request.

Questions about this service
Are translations included in 650 PLN?
Translations and official charges are separate unless expressly included in your written quote. We explain the expected extras before you proceed.
Can you help if names differ between documents?
We review the differences and explain whether additional records or a separate correction procedure should be considered.
