Additional info
The declaration may be made only by a divorced spouse who has changed their former surname as a result of entering into marriage. Such declaration may be made in any Registry Office in the country and abroad before the Consul of the Republic of Poland within three months from the date when the divorce judgment became final. After expiry of this period, the return to the surname worn before entering into marriage is possible only under an administrative procedure of surname change. A note in the marriage certificate is entered immediately after filing the declaration if the marriage was contracted in Żory. If the marriage was contracted in another locality, the record of statement acceptance is sent to the competent Registry Office for the purpose of attaching to the marriage certificate a note on the divorced spouse's return to the surname used before marriage.
