Repatriation from Mozambique to Poland

We organise bringing the deceased from Mozambique to Poland: documents from the country of death, Polish permits and transport of the body or urn.

Issuing authority and document
Certificate: the Polish consul confirmed in your case. 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 Mozambique are collected.
Price
We will quote the price once we know the details.

Procedure: Mozambique

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

Documents from Mozambique are authenticated by legalisation if a Polish office asks for it (the country is not a party to the Hague Convention, HCCH, as of 13 October 2026).

Mozambique in the Pretoria embassy's district

Mozambique belongs to the district of the Polish Embassy in Pretoria, the same one that serves Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Consular Section operates at 14 Amos Street. The date is set by email, and documents are submitted 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.

The application is filed by the person entitled to arrange the burial or someone authorised by them, for example a funeral home employee, with the original power of attorney. A body is carried by a company specialising in international transport of human remains. An urn can be taken by any means of transport, and for cremation the embassy requires a certificate from the crematorium. We take on the rest, from local documents to the transport. We confirm the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on enquiry in your case.
