My husband and I came with my Mom to renew her passport. Only my Mom was allowed inside and me and my husband were left in the little entrance area, before the metal detector. My husband is not Polish and I was really embarrassed! I mean I understand there are certain rules, but there are also different ways of conveying those rules to others! The lady at the door was beyond rude, and treated us with no respect! I mean this is a Consulate of your country, therefore represent it with some class! Now I understand why only 2.5 stars, if I could I would give it a 0.

Horrible, beyond description. I was born in Poland I am a political refuge from Communist Poland. Left Poland in 1979. Went to Poland in 1992. My Polish Passport expired in 1994. So just two days ago I went to Polish Konsulate to renew it. First I received a scolding then a lecture about me being a bad Polish Citizen. Next came threats that if I go to Poland withhout Polish Passport I will be detained. I am a USA Citizen since 1988. Finally I was told that because I did not renew my Passport in timely manner my Polish Citizenship is suspended. I was given a stack of forms to fill out. They want me to give details about my parents, my parents of my parents from my mother and father sides and my greatgrandparents from both sides. Also I was told to write a biography of all these people. All documents must be translated and will be sent to Polish Authorities in Poland. The fee is $96, and it will take six months to process. That is the manner the new Polish Government is treating Polish Citizens living abroad. I was humillated told that I should renouce My Polish Citizenship and stop thinking about visiting Poland. Fine with me, screw THEM.

No wonder they have such a horrible review the people that work here are half asleep and hung over. They have such attitude issues from the very beginning. All I wanted to know how to set up an appointment to renew my passport. My answer was just go online and do a general search. I couldn't find anything so I call back and I was told theirs nothing he could. All I want is the link of site where I could make my appointment thank you

I have been to many embassies and consulates. Definitely one of the BEST. Everyone was very helpful and kind. And a special big thank you to Vice Consul Sylwia Listek for going the extra mile. You are awesome! The security officers are also most helpful to visitors, more than any other consulate . THANK YOU!
