What Does Working with Lexmotion Look Like?
For the vast majority of clients, proving Polish citizenship through ancestry is a completely new experience. One of the most important things to remember is that each client has their own unique ancestral history. To successfully apply, it is essential to gather the appropriate records and submit them correctly.
Based on our experience working with over 4,500 clients, our legal team has developed a process that effectively and simply guides clients through the entire citizenship application process.
In summary, this process can be described as follows:
| 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
| Assessment of Eligibility and Initial Consultation | Document Search and Verification | Application Submission | Application Review and Citizenship Confirmation |
Let’s move on to a description of each stage.
1. Assessment of Eligibility and Initial Consultation
The first step is to assess eligibility. Here, we check whether the client meets the criteria required by Polish citizenship law.
It’s important to consider the legal regulations that apply to your situation, which is crucial because different laws were in effect during different periods of Poland’s existence.
To simplify and expedite this stage, we have prepared a free quiz for our clients, which takes only 5 minutes to complete.
Check if you qualify for polish citizenship by descent
Completing the test early in the process minimizes risks and surprises. This way, before you start gathering documents and submitting your application, you know you have a good chance of successfully becoming a Polish citizen.
What Happens After Completing the Quiz?
Once you’ve answered all the questions, our legal team will quickly analyze your situation.
We determine which documents will be needed to confirm your right to citizenship and assess the likelihood of success if you proceed with the application.

2. Document Gathering and Analysis
After the initial analysis of your situation and your ancestors’ history, our team will prepare recommendations on the necessary documentation. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can precisely identify which files and records will be crucial for your individual situation.
Understanding which documents are needed to support your case is a key part of the application process. This directly impacts the likelihood of a successful application.
Examples of documents needed to submit an application include:
- Your birth certificate
- Birth and marriage certificates of your parents
- Polish military documents, service numbers, and other military-related documents of your ancestor
- Polish census records listing your ancestor’s data
- Your ancestor’s Polish passport
- Your ancestor’s Polish birth certificate
- Polish identity card
- Polish population registers
It’s important to note that Polish authorities require all applications to be submitted in Polish.
Documents not written in Polish are translated by a certified translator. This is one of many issues in the process that we can take care of for you.
Where Should I Look for Documents?
When working with our clients, we usually ask if they have documentation related to their ancestors in family archives or if someone in the family might have them.
Among the required documents for submitting an application are, for example, the client’s birth certificate and marriage certificates.
The client receives recommendations and guidance on what they need to obtain in their country and information on where to request them.
We stay in constant contact with the client throughout the process, providing support and up-to-date information.
What If I Can’t Find All the Documents?
During the collaboration, it’s not uncommon for us to learn that the client cannot find all the necessary records.
This is understandable, as documents can often be lost, damaged, or simply difficult to locate.
In cases where such documents are missing, we act on behalf of the client to obtain them from Polish archives and offices. In many cases, this includes records from civil registry offices but, in others, it can include records from Polish courts.
Our team of experienced genealogists also conducts thorough, complex archival research.
Remember, we will only proceed to the next stage once we are confident that we have everything the Polish authorities need to evaluate your case.
3. Preparing and Submitting the Application
Polish authorities evaluate each application according to specific rules and guidelines, so it’s important that all applications are submitted correctly.
Our job is to ensure that all required documents are attached to a properly completed application.
Occasionally, the office may request additional explanations or documents; in such cases, we handle the communication with the authorities on behalf of the clients and ensure that all concerns are addressed.
Since all applications must be submitted in Polish, our multilingual team completes the applications on behalf of the clients. After submission, we manage all contact with government officials involved in your case.
Our team handles all bureaucratic challenges, ensuring a smooth process.
Each client is kept informed about the status of their application.
4. Application Review and Citizenship Confirmation
After the application is submitted, the Polish authorities begin reviewing it. This process typically takes about 12 months, depending on the complexity of the case and the efficiency of the offices involved. Learn more about how long does it take.
Why Does the Application Review Take So Long?
The growing interest in Polish citizenship has significantly extended the processing time, as interest increases while the office staff does not grow proportionally to the number of applications.
Meanwhile, our team remains in constant contact with the relevant officials, monitoring progress and responding to any additional queries or requests for additional documents.
It’s important to remain patient throughout the process and be prepared for any questions or additional requirements from the authorities. We will keep you regularly informed about the status of your application and any additional actions that need to be taken.
Once the application is approved, you will receive a decision confirming your Polish citizenship.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lexmotion’s success rate?
Our success rate is 98%. Thorough analysis at the beginning of the process prevents wasting time and resources.
Do I have the same chance of success if I apply on my own?
It is impossible to know the success rate for individuals applying on their own. Polish authorities do not release this data. However, we know that many such applications are abandoned before submission due to the complexity of work required in both searching and verifiying necessary documentation. For those unfamiliar with the Polish language, the biggest challenge will be completing a 12-page application form in Polish, alongside other documents that must be presented in a manner consistent with institutional practices.
Being located in Poland, our team of 20 Polish citizenship specialists provides an efficient service that helps clients confirm Polish citizenship through ancestry in the simplest possible way.
Does Polish citizenship come with a passport?
When we help clients confirm citizenship through ancestry, we also assist in obtaining a Polish passport – which has the same rights and freedoms as any other EU passport – by preparing all the necessary documents with detailed instructions.
How can I be sure the documents I provide will be safe?
The security of your documents is our priority.
We have implemented privacy requirements that meet the highest documentation security standards and comply with applicable data protection regulations. We have built a network of reliable couriers, such as FedEx, for the secure transport of documents.
We also have dedicated staff to ensure their safety upon arrival at our offices, ensuring all compliance procedures are followed.
Is it cheaper to apply for citizenship for the whole family at once?
Many of the documents required for the first applicant will also be relevant for other family members, so applying simultaneously can be a sensible use of time and resources for all involved. We offer family pricing, with the cost decreasing for each additional family member. This is justified by the reduced number of translations and the time required.
To receive a family offer, check your eligibility for Polish citizenship by taking our free online test.
Do I have to renounce my existing citizenship?
Modern Polish law does not require citizens to renounce their existing citizenship when granted Polish citizenship. As a result, dual citizenship is allowed in most cases.
We say “in most cases” because this depends on the laws of both countries involved.
It is also worth noting that obtaining a passport is tied to citizenship. Therefore, if you hold both American and Polish citizenship, for example, you can also obtain both an American and a Polish passport.
This is important in cases where countries require their citizens to use the appropriate state-issued identification documents.
