USA, Canada / Travelling to Poland from the U.S. on a expired Passport [43]

Thank you for the quick replies. So I am good to go then I see. That's very good news. I was pretty sure I was able to go back but needed a little more assurance. Thanks

Haha.
After more research I went on the Polish consulate website and it does infact state that I would be able to return to Poland with an expired passport.

Thanks again.

Well I'm guessing I would be able to use my green card as a form of ID for when boarding the plane , yes?

A Valid USA Green Card wouldn't be accepted as a valid form of ID? Why not?

How about a drivers license... or birth certificate

I guess I'll have to make a few phone calls to the appropriate airline then. As I'm sure I've heard people say they were allowed to travel internationally with an expired passport .

Why wouldn't the green card be valid without a valid passport?
I am a citizen of Poland only. I have a USA green card. My Polish passport is expired, I plan on renewing it in Poland.

Lots of mixed answers here.

So from the looks of it and the following research, It is my legal right to return to Poland, with a Polish passport ( weather EXPIRED OR NOT )

But for my to fly internationally from the USA to Poland with that expired polish passport, there might be some trouble but I should be able to do it. I have other forms of id as I stated and the USA green card,( which is valid and not expired) .

As far as waiting 3 weeks in Poland, that is ok, I know it will take some time, as I plan to stay in Poland for about 2 months.

All the fear mongering aside, I should be able to make this trip, yes? Thank you

Zman, you downer, relax.

I assure you this has nothing to do with being ' lazy ' . I am visiting my family and saw this as a great opportunity to renew my passport and take care of things of this nature.

I guess my idealistic view of the world put me in this current situation. How else can I put it? ;)

Temporary passport it is.
