MARRIAGE IN POLAND

If you wish to marry a Polish citizen in Poland, these are the documents you must submit to the Polish authorities in order to get married in Poland. Immigroup can guide you through this process by helping you obtain, prepare, and submit all the documentation required by the Polish government. Our fees for this service start at $400 + disbursement fees.

These are the documents required by the government of Poland in order to get married in Poland to a Polish citizen. Please note that your marriage cannot occur until one month after the date you submitted all the documents.

1. Birth certificate of both parties
2. Written assurance to Polish authorities
3. Certificate proving you are in capacity to enter a marriage
4. If applicable, proof of dissolution of marriage (divorce, annulment or death certificate).

Service for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who wishes to sponsor their spouse:

If you recently got married to a non-Canadian resident and would like to bring your spouse to Canada, Immigroup can help you submit a sponsorship application to allow your spouse to immigrate to Canada. Our fees for this service are $3000 + government fees.

The following information is provided by the Consulate of Poland regarding marriage in Poland:

The following documents are required:

1. Birth Certificates of both parties entering the marriage.
   
   
2. "Zapewnienie" – a written assurance, presented and signed before the appropriate Vital Statistic Official or Polish Consul by the person intending to enter the marriage contract.
   
   
3. In the case of Foreign Nationals (i.e. Canadians)
   In addition to "Zapewnienie", aliens (foreign nationals) must file a certificate proving that they have full capacity to enter a marriage contract according to the laws of their country. If an alien is not able to obtain such a certificate, a Polish court may exempt an alien from this requirement.
   
   
4. Additional Requirements:
   A decree of annulment, or dissolution of marriage by divorce, issued by a foreign court and being the basis for contracting the marriage, must be recognized by the appropriate Polish District Court.

Marriage cannot be contracted until one month after the date that the persons intending marriage have filed all documents and have given written assurances ("Zapewnienie") that they do not know of any reasons why the marriage should not be contracted. Documents should be filed with the Polish vital statistics office only.
