    According to the content of art. 13 section 1 of the Act of August 2, 1926 on the law applicable to private international relations for the validity of a marriage concluded outside of Poland, it was necessary to preserve the form prescribed by the national laws of both spouses.

    Losing the citizenship of an illegitimate child is not dependent on the mother's citizenship, but can be lost individually by the mother

  3. II OSK 53/16 - Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw

    As a rule, it is assumed that the legal person in the matter of claiming citizenship has the person to whom the application relates. The Supreme Administrative Court also accepted that such an interest was vested in the descendants of the requested person, since citizenship of children results, as a rule, from citizenship of parents (judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of September 14, 2006, II OSK 353/06, of February 20, 2008, II OSK 97/07, of 13 March 2009, II OSK 732/08, public Central Court of Administrative Courts, sądenia.nsa.gov.pl).

  4. II OSK 2094/15, Acquisition of Polish citizenship by a child - Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw

    In the context of the acquisition of Polish citizenship by a child, whether it had a "wedding" origin within the meaning of art. 5 of the Act of 1920 on the citizenship of the Polish State should be governed by Polish law, if the father of the child at the date of his birth had Polish citizenship (in addition to citizenship of a foreign state).

  5. II OSK 695/15 - Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw

    From 1 January 1946 only civilian marriages were significant.

  7. II OSK 1927/14 - Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw

    The NSA referred to the views of the doctrine that exceptionally marital status can also be evidenced by means of other evidence (J. Litwin, Law on Civil Status Records, Commentary, Warsaw 1960, pp. 203 et seq .; Family and Guardianship Law System, Warsaw 1985 ., p. 80 and following). The court ruled that such a proof of marriage in October 1945 may be the decision of the District Rabbinical Court in 2007.

  12. II OSK 1176/16 - Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of March 6, 2018,

    Children born abroad in the years 1902-1920.

    Children who acquired foreign citizenship by birth abroad (i.e. born in 1902-1920) before 1920 could not subsequently acquire Polish citizenship in 1920, even if their parents acquired those by law in 1920. In contrast, children born abroad after 1920 already acquired Polish citizenship "after their parents" even though they simultaneously acquired foreign citizenship. This interpretation of the regulations is confirmed by the positions of the Minister of the Interior contained in circular No. 18 of 9 July 1925 entitled "Citizenship of persons born and naturalized in America" (Coll. Of the Minister of Internal Affairs, p. 858)
