The recognition of judgments issued abroad V. transcription of foreign civil status records

Summary/Abstract: According to art. 104.1 of the Law on Civil Status Acts (PASC) of 2014, a foreign civil status document may be transferred to the Civil Status Register by means of transcription. The Author advocates the position according to which transcription may be effected without verifying if the foreign judgment, that influenced the contents of the document to be transcribed, can be recognized in Poland. The protection against introducing to the Register of data breaching the Polish public order (including data coming from a foreign judgment) is realized through the ordre public clause (art. 107 point 3 PASC). If subsequently it is discovered that some data coming from a judgment not capable of recognition was introduced to the Register, the procedure for the annulment of the transcribed act or the annulment of an annotation in that act may be initiated (art. 39 PASC). Occasionally, the correction of the civil status act may also take place (art. 36 PASC).
