Polish citizenship by descent: confirmation support

We review the family history and available records to assess a possible citizenship claim, then prepare an application to confirm possession of Polish citizenship.

Your first enquiry is free. A paid consultation is optional.

Who this service is for

For people with Polish family connections who want to establish whether citizenship passed through the family. A Polish ancestor is a starting point for an assessment, not a conclusion.

What we do for you

  • Review the family timeline and available citizenship evidence.
  • Identify gaps in the chain of civil and historical records.
  • Prepare the confirmation application and supporting explanation.
  • Handle requests from the authority within the agreed scope.

Useful information for our first conversation

  • Known family dates, names and places
  • Available birth, marriage and citizenship records
  • Documents about emigration or later nationality, where available

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.

Confirmation establishes an existing citizenship status

The assessment concerns whether Polish citizenship was held and transmitted under the relevant rules. The evidence must connect the generations; ancestry alone does not settle the question.

Questions about this service

Are archive searches included?

We review the records you have and identify gaps. Any separate archive searches, translations or document procurement are agreed and priced before additional work begins.

Is a grandparent born in Poland enough?

Not by itself. We review the citizenship history and the records linking the generations.

Do I need to pay for a consultation first?

No. Your first enquiry is free. An optional one-hour consultation costs 200 PLN, deducted from the service price if you go on to use our service.
