Repatriation from Antigua & Barbuda to Poland

The body is carried by air as air cargo. We agree the arrival airport and the handover point in Poland with the family.

Procedure: Antigua & Barbuda

Poland is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Conveyance of Corpses, so bringing a body from Antigua & Barbuda always requires the Polish consul's certificate.

Documents from Antigua & Barbuda 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).

Antigua and Barbuda: the embassy in Bogota handles the case

Antigua and Barbuda has no Polish post of its own. According to the territorial jurisdiction list on gov.pl, the country is handled by the Polish Embassy in Bogota, which also covers Colombia and Saint Lucia. We make sure the application for the consul's certificate reaches the embassy complete from the start. The family does not need to know the procedures of both countries: we handle contact with the local funeral home, the airline and the offices in Poland.

The country lies across the ocean, so remains or an urn travel to Poland by air. The usual order of steps is: a document confirming the death from the local hospital or authorities, preparation of the body or cremation, consent for export, a flight booking, and then, in Poland, the starosta's permit and the consul's certificate. We confirm the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on request, for 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 Bogotá.

How to get them: the starosta's permit and the consul's certificate.
