We have been getting more and more questions about confirming and obtaining Polish citizenship by descent.

We asked one of the expert we have been working with Katarzyna Kasia Kacprzak to explain it to you.

This is her article including useful study case: Polish Citizenship Confirmation

Posted: Yesterday at 12:36 pm Post subject: Citizenship by Descent Document Question

I want to obtain Polish Citizenship and eventually a passport through the citizenship by descent program. I understand that my grandmother's marriage certificate, naturalization papers and birth certificate would be needed as she was naturalized in 1996, and I was born in 1975. Due to her being in a work camp during WW2 and losing almost everything her family owned, she had to have a "Testimony of Birth and Baptism" document created so she could get married. Will this document be sufficient in place of her birth certificate if I meet all other qualifications?
