Registry offices that issue civil status certificates

Cities differ on requests, older paper entries and who may collect

Every city has its own Urząd Stanu Cywilnego, and the way it works varies: some issue copies of electronic entries quickly, others need more time for older paper ones, and some take requests only by post, online or after a phone call. Open an office to check its options, what to bring and who may collect the certificate.

    Bring valid ID, identify the event and people concerned, and provide fee evidence or the reason for an exemption. Representatives need suitable authority and any applicable proxy fee. If you receive a digitally signed certificate, pass on the original electronic file: a printout is not its legal equivalent. Check the recipient’s required certificate format before paying.
