The polarization properties of RX J1856.5-3754 are investigated, based on the plasma emission model presented in previous works. It is shown that if the emission of this source is generated by the synchrotron mechanism, the X-ray and the optical emission are linearly polarized and the corresponding degrees of linear polarization are calculated. The measurement of the polarization patterns of this source appears to be most reliable way, to make clear its real emission nature.
