Nope he'll only be allowed a temporary one, once that expires he won't be able to get a permanent one.

:p ask your local consulate.

a temporary one

A temporary what? Temporary PESEL number? I thought that's a number that follows you for the rest of your life once issued.

A temporary passport? There is no such thing as a permanent passport. All passports have an expiry date........

I though so too.

A temporary passport is what's given to you by your consulate if you lose your normal one when on holiday. It seems from the OP's post that newborn babies born abroad get them.

is it possible to get his permanent passport and pesel number in uk without going Poland ?

It should be - you'll need to speak to the Polish consulate in London. They will either be used to doing it or used to saying no. Be aware that they are notorious for delays and long waiting times due to Polish migration to the UK happening on a larger scale than they have been able to cope with.

Yes, I know. In fact, I once had a German consulate refusing to issue a temporary passport to me because I kept losing my passport on every single groundhopping trip when i was younger. I did get it eventually but was told to look after of my documents more carefully.

My question was more related to the wording "Hrvatwithapolak" has used -

Nope he'll only be allowed a temporary one, once that expires he won't be able to get a permanent one.

- because whether this is PESEL or passport related, it does not make sense. PESEL is for life so no temporary PESEL numbers and a passport always is issued only for a defined period of time.

Yes it is possible, and I know this because I went through the procedure for my own child who was also born abroad.

In addition to getting the temporary passport (I assume with 1 year validity?) you will need to go to the Polish embassy or consulate and fill + sign some forms, at least three times - once to apply for the Polish birth certificate, another time to apply for the PESEL number, and another time to apply for a regular passport. They are separate procedures, and the birth certificate must be issued and received before you can apply for the PESEL, which in turn must be issued before you can apply for a regular passport. For some documents BOTH parents must be present to sign at the embassy, so it is better if both of you go together each time.

However it takes a rather long time. From the day we filed the first application to the day we received a regular passport it took about 8 months.

finally, I did this 3 years ago and I cannot guarantee procedures have not changed since! Ask at the embassy.

If you are able to travel to Poland (either parent) the entire procedure can be done within 2 weeks. The UK birth certificate translated to Polish and attested plus a certified (by a notary) and attested (by Foreign Ministry + Polish Embassy) copy of the non-Polish parent's passport needs to be presented. Ask your spouse to call the registration office in their area and ask what are the current document requirements.
