I sent in a request for my grandfather's birth cert to the polish embassy in DC. I sent a follow up e-mail with them to see if they received my request, and they finally responded by saying that my request was forwarded to the consulate in L.A. (because I live in CA). But I was under the impression vital statistics had to be requested from the embassy (the consulates could not do this, at least in the U.S.). Does the embassy/consulate just forward the request to the appropriate county in Poland? Just curious if anyone knows where the birth cert would be printed i guess.

 

Yea, I was just in DC and went to the consular division at the embassy and took care of it in person, was pretty easy, but told it would take at a minimum 2 months.
