Planning to marry a foreign citizen in Poland? This is an important and responsible step that requires strict compliance with legal requirements, proper document preparation and interaction with government authorities. The Consultant law firm provides full support for the process of marrying a foreigner in Poland - from preparation to marriage registration.

What does our service for marriage to a foreigner in Poland include?

Our team provides a comprehensive service covering:

1. legal assessment of each couple's situation (citizenship, documents, visa status);
2. preparation and translation of necessary documents;
3. apostille and legalization of foreign documents;
4. preparation of a declaration of no impediment to marriage;
5. organization of a meeting with a notary;
6. coordination with the local registry office (USC);

If necessary - we help obtain a certificate of marital status or absence of marriage in the country of origin, and provide consultations on further residence permit applications based on marriage.

Why is it important to consult a notary for marriage to a foreigner?

Polish law requires compliance with formalities, especially when a foreigner is involved. A notary performs critically important functions:

1. certifies document authenticity;
2. verifies legal capacity to marry according to the laws of their country;
3. helps prepare a declaration of intent to marry;
4. certifies translated documents when needed;
5. ensures all documents meet USC requirements.

Without proper notarial support, there is a risk of marriage registration refusal, procedure delays, or even future invalidation of the marriage.

Under what conditions can a foreigner marry in Poland?

Marriage can be concluded in Poland provided several key requirements are met:

• both parties have reached marriageable age and are legally capable;
• the foreigner provides a document confirming no impediment to marriage in their country (consulate certificate or official document);
• all documents are translated by a sworn translator;
• both persons are physically present when submitting the application;
• there are no legal obstacles (e.g., previous undissolved marriage).

In exceptional cases, it's possible to submit an application without one party's physical presence using a power of attorney, but this requires separate notarial formalities.
