Law / Got Polish citizenship, now I need a Pesel and passport [26]

I am currently in Warsaw and have recently got confirmation of Polish citizenship.
Now I need to get a PESEL and passport.
Can someone give me the address of where in Warsaw to get these application forms as I have been all over so many departments and each one sends me somewhere else.

By the way I speak Polish.
One would never believe to trouble I have had!

Thanks, but I am leaving for Australia in 5 days and have completely given up on these Polish bureaucrats and will see what I can do in Australia with the Polish consul. It can't be worse than here.

Thanks MrBubbles,
I am going to the USC here in Warsaw Monday. Will let you know how I get on.

Guess what! The USC at ul Andersa 5 didn't want to know me or anything about a PESEL. They, as per usual, wanted to send me to the other side of Warsaw - not to where we have already been but to another suburb so I give up.

As MrBubbles says, they are all barstards and go out of their way to NOT help.
I am going to Australia on Wednesday so will ask the consul there to fix things up!
Cheers

Thanks everyone for your advice and best wishes. I will certainly avoid Polish bureaucrats in future as much as I can. They are not communists but they can't get rid of their mentality and habits.

My file is about 5cms thick so I am leaving my footprint in Poland. I had to prove my origins right up to Mieszko I and his son Boleslaw Chrobry. Still I want to come back someday.

Cheers
