Welcome to Getpassport.eu
On estimating emigration statistics, it becomes remarkable that one third of Polish citizens (which means: over 20 million people) live outside Poland. Three countries in the world - Russia, China and Italy - are ahead of us with regard to the absolute number of emigrants. One is authorized to apply for a certification of Polish citizenship when being a former inhabitant of Polish territory, including Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, who was born there in the period between World Wars, which means, during the time when these lands belonged to Poland. Apart from the abovementioned, this can be done by their descendents - one need to keep in mind that in Polish law the "blood principle" (ius sanguinis), concerning the inheritance of citizenship, is in effect. A citizen of Poland is one of whom a minimum of one parent holds citizenship. The place of birth is not relevant. The "number of generations" has no significance either - among the persons whose cases were handled by our employees, there could be found citizens of the USA, South American countries, Israel and Australia, whose grandparents had left Poland in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Our team proceed confirmation of Polish citizenship proceduere - which is necessary to get Polish passport. If our clients dont have enough old Polish documents to proceed all procedure - we search for these documents in Poland and in territories that belonged to Poland before II World War. To increase speed and quality of searching outside the Poland we cooperate with professional Belarusian, Latvian and Ukrainian researchers.
Most of our clients are from Israel. Our legal team is specialized with proceeding cases of Polish citizens of jewish roots who emigrated before II World War (emigration from 1920-1939), with cases of people who emigrated after the war and with emigration from '50s and '60s. Polish citizenship law was regulated by 3 main citizenship acts. Also many minor legal acts and random provisions had (and have) influence on procedure and eligibility. Time of emigration is also very important because of other reasons - for example Polish authorities can ask for different documents - because some things - that must be verified for people who emigrated before II World War dont have to be checked if emigration happened after this time. All of these details are very important and only lawyers who understand tham because of experience can proceed case without risk of making small mistakes that can result in negative decision. Every case must be proceeded with individual approach - many people who are interested in Polish passport dont understand how procedures and rules were tightened last years and how many things changed. What is more - even lecure of Polish Citizenship Acts is not enough to understand these nuances. Anyway - we also proceed cases of people from many other countries - especially from USA, Canada, South America, Australia and South Africa.
