Modern civil registration records are still kept at the gmina (community) level. Records older than 100 years are supposed to be transferred from the USC office to the state archives. Poland's privacy laws restrict access to births up to 100 years, and marriages and deaths up to 80 years. | Modern civil registration records are still kept at the gmina (community) level. Records older than 100 years are supposed to be transferred from the USC office to the state archives. Poland's privacy laws restrict access to births up to 100 years, and marriages and deaths up to 80 years. Books are not transferred until every record in the volume is publicly available (eg. a birth book covering 1910-1925 will be eligible for transfer in 2026). | ||
