Repatriation from Dominica to Poland

We organise bringing the deceased from Dominica 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 Caracas. The export permit comes from the authorities of the country of death.
Transport
The body is carried by air as air cargo. We agree the arrival airport 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 Dominica are collected.
Price
We will quote the price once we know the details.

Procedure: Dominica

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

Documents from Dominica 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).

Dominica via the embassy in Caracas

Dominica is served by the Polish Embassy in Caracas, whose area covers ten countries: Venezuela, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. The embassy's list of honorary consulates includes Kingston, Port of Spain, Bridgetown, Saint George's, Kingstown, Basseterre and Paramaribo, but has no entry for Dominica. There is therefore no Polish consul on the spot who could help straight away.

For this reason the documents go to Caracas in person or by post, and the visit date is arranged by email with the embassy. The consul issues the certificate promptly, no later than three days after the application is filed. Collection is in person or by post at the applicant's cost. We organise sending the documents, contact with the embassy and onward transport to Poland. Local rules, such as which office approves the removal of remains from the island, we do not quote from memory but confirm in your case.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 Caracas.

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