Repatriation from Honduras to Poland

We organise bringing the deceased from Honduras 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 Panama City. 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.

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 Honduras are collected.
Price
We will quote the price once we know the details.

Procedure: Honduras

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

Documents from Honduras 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).

Honduras: the embassy in Panama covers the whole region

Honduras falls under the Polish Embassy in Panama, which also covers Panama, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua and El Salvador. A visit is arranged by email, documents can be submitted in person or by post, and the embassy website has a Spanish version. Before documents are submitted we check that copies and stamps are complete, and we inform the family of every step.

In Honduras the civil registry is kept by the Registro Nacional de las Personas (RNP) through the municipal Registro Civil offices, in the municipality where the death occurred. The death certificate therefore has to be obtained from the office responsible for the place of death. With the local certificate we move to the Polish part: the starosta's permit, the consul's certificate and air transport. The consul also advises which additional documents may be needed, and we keep the order of steps. We clarify the detailed requirements of this country's authorities for your specific case on request.
