How to Get a Polish Passport by Ancestry?

Confirming Polish citizenship by descent is a natural way to obtain a Polish passport  and enjoy border-free travel within the EU.

Step 1

Start by Exploring  
Your Polish Roots

If you have Polish ancestors—parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents—who never renounced their citizenship, you may be eligible to reclaim it and get a Polish passport!

To check your eligibility for Polish citizenship by descent, we’ve prepared a short test. It helps assess your chances of approval.

Our legal experts lead the process step by step, ensuring a smooth experience while assisting with gathering all required documents.

Step 2

Confirm Your Polish Citizenship  and Obtain Passport

Once Polish authorities in Warsaw review and officially confirm your citizenship, you can apply for a Polish passport—one of the world's strongest passports, granting visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 176 countries.

Even better, after your citizenship is confirmed, your family members can apply too. Their process will be even smoother since the required documents are already prepared.

Throughout the entire process, our experts handle all legal formalities on your behalf, so you don’t need to speak Polish or travel to Poland.
