Reguła ta dotyczy zatem osoby, która – w zasadzie – ukończyła 18 lat (art. 10 § 1 k.c.); jeżeli osoba, która nie ukończyła 18.

On the 28th August of 2006 the Act on Passport Documents of the 13th July of 2006 (Journal of Laws No. 143, item 1027 with amendments) came into force. Pursuant to this Act a passport document (passport, temporary passport, diplomatic passport and passport of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is issued to the minor, in principle, upon parents’ or a parent’s application, however interference of the court of general jurisdiction in this respect is applicable. This interference is that the court approves of issuing the passport document to the minor. In Article 13, section 1 of the aforementioned Act, the legislator provided for two factual grounds of such interference: (1) lack of consensus of parents’ positions, (2) the impossibility of obtaining consent of one of them. The legal ground of the court interference is stipulated in Article 97 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code. The adjudication, in which the court agreed to issue the passport document to the minor, replaces the consent of a specified parent. It binds the passport authorities to the extent that it replaces the consent of a given parent and usually causes such consequences as if parents in the name of the minor jointly filed an application for issuing the passport document. The rule contained in Article 3 of the Act that each Polish citizen has the right to receive a passport constitutes an interpretative clue among others for parents and the court.
