Merged: Obtaining My Mum's Birth Certificate and My Polish Passport

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum I visit Poland a lot to visit my Dziadek and Babcia and just got back they are really ill now unfortunately. My mum (Polish born) moved to England in the 1980's (Born in 1964) but passed away 15 years ago. My grandparents do not have her birth certificate but i would like to obtain one. What is the best way about obtaining this? I can do it online or I have friends in Warsaw who can assist me as i do not speak Polish.

Also how easy would it be for me to get a Polish passport? Would i need my Mum's birth certificate and mine etc? Anybody know of an easy way of doing this? Sorry if this has been answered before and thank you in Advance.!!

Hi Iza22,

I just needed my mum's birth details and her parents birth details date of birth etc. Then i needed my birth certificate to prove it was my mum.So take yours and that was it. I don't speak polish so my friend translated for me. It took about a week and my friend picked it up and posted it to me as i gave her my permission to use her as power of attorney.
