    Hi, I have just recently had my Polish Citizenship approved and I have heard that I need to now get my Polish Birth certificate to therefore get the passport.
    Does anyone know what the next step is? I have spent alot of money on lawyers so if someone knows the next step to possibly avoid the lawyer fees. My lawyer said it would take him a month if I go through him, but has anyone done it another way? I live in Australia. Thanks

    It should be the same way you obtained your ancestor's birth certificate that you used to prove your claim to citizenship.
    When I needed my father's BC, I got a form from my local consulate where I listed the details, paid a fee (asround $50, don't remember) the consulate did the legwork and the consulate sent it to me via certified mail once they received it. Took a couple of months.

    You can do it directly through the Polish consulate. It takes about a month as well.
