IF the child's father has polish citizenship then, yes it is doable.

Thank you Zed. The childs father is 100% polish. His family still reside in Poland. He is living in Ireland.

Which one is do-able? The passport or citizenship? Or both?

Both.

Even yourself as an E.U. citizen can live here in Poland.

I hope it works out for you, I read your other thread.

I do not want to live in Poland or apply for a polish passport/citizenship for myself. But my son is half Polish and I was wondering what he could obtain as such.

Things are still as bad with his father but I have given up trying to show him reason. I am caring for my son alone and I think that is the best way to have it.
However maybe in the future my son would like to be able to travel. I would like him to remain an Irish citizen but maybe he would like to change.
Thank you for your reply Sean BM.

Your son can have Irish and Polish citizenship and he can also hold two passports, Irish and Polish.

Let us know if you have any more questions you need answerd.

Best of luck.

The fact that the father is 100% polish is not important. What is important is whether he currently holds polish citizenship. If he does, the kid can get one as well. And a passport as well if it is desired.

No, when their son got a birth certificate, it should have been stated where the child's parents are from and a copy sent to the appropriate embassy to notify them (in this case the Polish embassy).

not the original copy. an authorized copy and probably with a certified translation.

u would have to let the Polish side know that u have a Polish child, yes.

you'll probably find info at the Polish Embassy website.

If I were you I would ring the Polish embassy in Ireland tel. (+353-1) 283 08 55

I was told that the people who make the birth certificate send a copy to the appropriate embassy but just to make sure you should call them.

So they might already have a copy of his birth cert? Thats very interesting. I will certainly call tomorrow and find out. Thank you so much for that information. Very helpful.

Yes, I have a friend here in Poland, who recently had a child and he was told they sent a copy to the Irish embassy (he's Irish, the mother Polish).

But with such things it is always better to ask the embassy themselves.

Let us know how you get on, as it could help other people in the future.

Best of luck!
