Procedure: St. Kitts & Nevis

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

Documents from St. Kitts & Nevis 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).

Saint Kitts and Nevis: the embassy in Caracas

Saint Kitts and Nevis falls under the Polish Embassy in Caracas. The same district covers Venezuela, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The consulate accepts applications in person or by post and arranges visits by email.

For a body the embassy requires, among other things, a copy of the death certificate with an apostille. If an urn is to be brought, a cremation certificate and the funeral home's confirmation of a sealed, damage-resistant container are added. The certificate can be collected in person or sent by post at the applicant's cost. The page describes the procedure of the embassy in Caracas, not of the island state, so we confirm each requirement before documents are sent. We handle the whole: the documents, contact with a funeral home on the island and the transport to Poland. We clarify the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on request 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.
