Polish citizenship can be claimed by individuals who can prove a direct line of descent from a Polish citizen. This process, often referred to as “confirmation of citizenship,” is available to those whose ancestors were Polish citizens at some point after 1920.
Direct Lineage: To be eligible, you must prove a direct lineage from a Polish ancestor who was a citizen of Poland after the country regained its independence in 1918. The laws and historical events impacting citizenship are highly specific and require a deep understanding of Poland’s past.
The “Confirmation” Process: The application is not for an “award” of citizenship but for the “confirmation” that you are already a Polish citizen by law, a status that was passed down through your bloodline.
