Legalization of Foreign Birth Certificate in Poland
Document legalization is an important step for individuals who wish to confirm their rights or legal status in Poland. One such process is the transcription of a foreign birth certificate into the Polish Civil Registry. This allows the official recognition and registration of a foreign act in Poland, which is crucial for obtaining various documents, including citizenship or permanent residency.
