Repatriation from Cameroon to Poland

Cameroon: the embassy in Abuja

Cases from Cameroon are handled by the Polish Embassy in Abuja, at 10 River Niger Street, Maitama. Its district also includes Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Togo. The consulate arranges visits by email and accepts documents in person or by post. If the consul refuses, he issues a decision, against which a complaint can be lodged with the Minister of Foreign Affairs within 7 days, through the consul. The certificate is collected in person or sent by post.

Under the embassy's instructions, a body must be secured in a carefully soldered metal coffin with an absorbent layer, placed in a wooden crate, as confirmed by the funeral home. For ashes, the funeral home certifies a sealed, damage-resistant container. We gather the documents on both sides of the border and organise the transport. We confirm the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on enquiry in your case.

In Cameroon there is a Polish honorary consulate in Yaoundé, listed among the honorary consulates attached to the Polish Embassy in Abuja. However, the Polish diplomatic mission in Yaoundé was suspended in 1981 for budget reasons, and the ambassador in Abuja is also accredited to Cameroon. The certificate for bringing a body to Poland is therefore still issued by the consul in Abuja, not by the honorary consulate in Yaoundé. Documents from Cameroon are legalised, because the country does not use the apostille. We collect them locally, prepare the application for Abuja and organise the flight to Poland. Whether the honorary consul in Yaoundé can help in your case, we confirm individually before starting any formalities, and the family does not need to travel to Nigeria.
