Repatriation from San Marino to Poland
We organise bringing the deceased from San Marino 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
- By a specialised hearse or by air. We agree the route 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 San Marino are collected.
- Price
- We will quote the price once we know the details.
Procedure: San Marino
Poland is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Conveyance of Corpses, so bringing a body from San Marino always requires the Polish consul's certificate.
Documents from San Marino 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).
San Marino: we confirm the competent post in your case
We confirm the post competent for this country in your case. Until we establish it, we prepare the part that does not depend on location: the burial permit is issued in Poland by the starost or the city president, and the application can be filed by the family or an authorised funeral home. The consul does not cover financial obligations and does not decide for the family on the method or place of burial, so those decisions are yours.
The typical order is as follows: a document confirming the death, the starosta's permit, a visit to the consular office arranged by email, documents submitted in person or by post, and collection of the consul's certificate. A body is carried by a specialised firm, while an urn with ashes travels in a sealed container. We guide the family through each of these steps. We confirm the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on enquiry in your case.
The Polish consul's certificate
The certificate is issued by the Polish consul competent for this country. We confirm the mission in your case.
How to get them: the starosta's permit and the consul's certificate.
