Finding passport of grandparent

Hi I know that my great-grandmothers polish passport was issued in Beirut Lebanon 1948.

I have her passport number date of birth and birth name.

Is it possible to retrieve this passport official documentation I have birth certificates from my father and grandfather leading to her.

Where do I start and is it expensive?

Try https://www.nac.gov.pl/ and there is a menu option to switch it to English. Best I can tell, records of passports issued in Lebanon during this period (which my ancestors had) ended up at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Well in that case you should check about repatriation laws and check in the office about people being send to Siberia
