Repatriation from Andorra to Poland
We organise bringing the deceased from Andorra to Poland: documents from the country of death, Polish permits and transport of the body or urn.
- Issuing authority and document
- Certificate: the Polish Embassy in Madrid. The export permit comes from the authorities of the country of death.
- Transport
- By a specialised hearse or by air. We agree the route and the handover point in Poland with the family.
- Timing
- The starosta and the consul have up to 3 days for their documents (Article 14(5) of the Act on Cemeteries). We give the full timing once the documents from Andorra are collected.
- Price
- We will quote the price once we know the details.
Procedure: Andorra
Poland is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Conveyance of Corpses, so bringing a body from Andorra always requires the Polish consul's certificate.
Documents from Andorra are authenticated with an apostille if a Polish office asks for it (the country is a party to the Hague Convention, HCCH, as of 13 October 2026).
Andorra: the honorary consul and the next steps
An Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Poland operates in Andorra la Vella and has been run by Yolanda Solà Ruiz since November 2015. Poland is represented towards Andorra by the ambassador in Madrid; we confirm consular services and the return of remains with the embassy in your case. We confirm the competent post for this country in your case.
We organise everything in this order: first the report of the death to the local civil registry and collection of the local death certificate, then the application for a permit in Poland, then the certificate from the competent consul, and finally the transport of the body or urn. We agree the method of transport with a funeral home once the place of death is known, and give the family a clear list of documents to collect. We clarify the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on request in your case.
The Polish consul's certificate
The certificate is issued by the consul of the mission named on gov.pl: the Polish Embassy in Madrid.
