Obtaining a Birth Certificate from Poland (Akt Urodzenia)

A Polish birth certificate (Akt urodzenia) is an official civil status document confirming a person’s birth registration in Poland. The document contains key personal information, including full name, date and place of birth, and parental details.

Birth records in Poland are maintained through the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego (USC), which is responsible for registering civil status events and issuing official certificates. A Polish birth certificate is commonly required for immigration, legal, educational, administrative, and family-related procedures both in Poland and abroad.

When a Duplicate Birth Certificate from Poland May Be Required

A duplicate or certified copy of a Polish birth certificate may be needed in many situations, especially when official documents must be submitted outside Poland.

The document is commonly requested for:

Replacement of a lost or damaged original certificate;
Residence permit or citizenship applications abroad;
Marriage registration in another country;
Confirmation of family relationships for inheritance or legal matters;
Submission of documents to foreign universities or government institutions.

In many cases, foreign authorities require an officially issued civil registry document rather than a copy or scan.
