I hope that I'm posting this question in the correct forum!
Basically, I am a US/Polish dual citizen who was born in the United States in 1991 (I'm 21 years old). I was issued a passport when I was much younger, without having a numer PESEL. My parents never obtained a Polish birth certificate for me. Now, in order to renew my 10-letni paszport I need to get a Polish Birth Certificate first, and then apply for PESEL and 10-letni paszport at the same time. Basically my question is, what is the process for getting a Polish Birth Certificate? (My parents will be in Poland in August, and want to get this worked out while they're in Poland).
I've tried doing some research. And from what I've found so far, since I'm over 18, my parents need to go to Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Warsaw (even though we're from Wrocław). They will need my original US birth certificate and a translated birth certificate (translated by a tłumacz przysięgły). Is there anything else that they need? How long does this process typically take?
After obtaining the Polish birth certificate I will then use it to apply for a PESEL and new passport.
Thanks for any and all help!
