Your free starting point
Follow a short check about your family. Extra details appear only where needed. Get a suggested next step and the reasons behind it.
“I don’t know” is a useful answer. No email or documents needed.
They are not saved as you answer. You choose whether to download, copy, email or deliberately submit your summary. Read the privacy notice.
A starting-point guide, not a citizenship decision or legal advice.
Choose the closest ancestor you know about. A family connection does not by itself prove citizenship.
Complete this step to continue. You can choose “I do not know”. You can go back and change it. Changing the starting ancestor clears the later answers.
Who qualifies
A Polish parent, grandparent or earlier ancestor is a reason to explore. The question is whether citizenship continued through the generations.
Start with their names, dates and any family records you have.
Older family lines and places now outside Poland need their own historical review.
You can still begin. We first identify which facts and records need to be established.
Ancestry gives us a lead. The history and evidence need checking.

What we do
The £95 Case Map gives you a reviewed starting point and an ordered plan for the work ahead.
Connect the generations and identify the key dates.
Set out what is supported, what is missing and where specialist input may be needed.
Know which records to pursue, which questions to resolve and what costs to allow for.
You start with names, places and approximate dates. If a Case Map is suitable, we agree the records needed and the delivery date before you pay.

How it works
A reviewed plan before you commit to further work.
Answer six questions and get a suggested next step. Download or copy your summary.
Prepare an enquiry email with your answers. We check whether a Case Map would be useful.
Get your family-line map, issues, checklist and action plan. Use it independently or discuss further support.
Historical context
War, migration and changed borders shape where your family’s records may survive.
Service and resettlement files may help establish identity and dates. The exact service history needs checking.
Polish records, resettlement files and British naturalisation dates can all matter.
Families passed through the USSR, the Middle East, Africa or India before settling. Records are often spread across several countries.
Records from Lwów, Wilno, Stanisławów and other places may now be held outside Poland. Place of birth alone does not establish citizenship.
Tell us the original place names as you know them. We can start by identifying the relevant dates and records.

What needs checking, what is still unknown and where specialist input may be needed.
Records you have, records you need and likely sources to approach.
What to do first, who needs to act and the practical next steps.
Indicative preparation stages, likely external costs and assumptions that may change.

The pre-check is only a starting point. Your Case Map is prepared after an individual review of the family line and the records you provide.
No automated quiz result replaces document review or an official citizenship decision.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Start with names, places and approximate dates. An initial review helps establish whether a Case Map would be useful. Any paid research is agreed separately.
That fact alone does not settle the question. Dates, circumstances and the law in force at the time need review. Include it as a historical event in the pre-check.
A reviewed, six-page PDF: a considered route, family-line map, issues and evidence gaps, document checklist, action plan, and indicative timing and costs. We agree the inputs and delivery date before you pay. No VAT is charged.
You can work with us in English. Citizenship applications are completed in Polish. UK residents can apply through their relevant Polish consulate, in person or by post. Check the current official instructions for your filing route.
Yes. Give us the place names as you know them. Changed borders affect where records may survive; the family’s citizenship history needs review.
No. It suggests what to check next from your answers. No documents are verified. Only the competent Polish authorities determine citizenship; a passport is a separate process.
The £95 fee covers review and planning. Sworn translations, archive research and application preparation are separate. A Full Application Service is planned; its availability, scope and fees will be confirmed.
We agree your Case Map delivery date before payment. Searches for documents and the authority’s processing are separate stages, with no guaranteed overall timetable.
They stay in this open page and clear when you refresh. Downloading saves a file on your device. Copying places the summary on your clipboard. Preparing an email opens a draft in your mail app; you decide whether to send it. Online submission requires a separate deliberate Send action. See the privacy notice for details.
We focus on case organisation and documents. A complex citizenship issue, refusal or appeal may need a separate review by a qualified Polish lawyer.
The service is designed first for UK residents. If you live elsewhere, tell us your country of residence so we can explain the relevant review and document arrangements.
