What documents are needed if my spouse is a Polish citizen?

Question

My spouse is a Polish citizen. What do I specifically need to prepare?

Auranik Consulting & Management · Accepted Answer

## Short answer
A current marriage certificate, evidence of your Polish spouse's citizenship, biometric photos, evidence of stable income, health insurance, secured accommodation, and your passport -- submitted via MOS.

## What this depends on
The office is required to assess whether the marriage was concluded to circumvent immigration law, not just confirm the certificate itself is genuine. Be prepared to provide additional evidence of a genuine relationship (joint life evidence, correspondence, photos) even if it's not on the mandatory-attachment list.

## Documents / steps
- Marriage certificate (widely-observed practice expects one issued no earlier than 3 months before submission)
- Copy of spouse's Polish ID/citizenship evidence
- Evidence of stable and regular income
- Health insurance proof
- Secured accommodation evidence
- Passport, biometric photos, application fee proof
