Verso
"PRZYZNANIE KARTY POLAKA NIE OZNACZA NABYCIA POLSKIEGO OBYWATELSTWA" = the issuing of a "KARTA POLAKA" does not mean that Polish citizenship is acquired
"KARTA POLAKA NIE JEST DOKUMENTEM UPRAWNIAJĄCYM DO PRZEKRACZANIA GRANICY ANI DO OSIEDLANIA SIĘ NA TERYTORIUM RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ POLSKIEJ" = "KARTA POLAKA" is not a document which entitles the holder to cross the border or settle down in the territory of Poland
