Repatriation from St. Vincent & Grenadines to Poland
We organise bringing the deceased from St. Vincent & Grenadines 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 St. Vincent & Grenadines are collected.
- Price
- We will quote the price once we know the details.
Procedure: St. Vincent & Grenadines
Poland is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Conveyance of Corpses, so bringing a body from St. Vincent & Grenadines always requires the Polish consul's certificate.
Documents from St. Vincent & Grenadines 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 Vincent and the Grenadines: Kingstown
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is covered by the Polish Embassy in Caracas, which serves ten countries of the region in total. A Polish Honorary Consulate operates in Kingstown; the scope of its help we establish with the embassy. The country consists of many islands, so where the death occurred affects the organisation. The certificate, however, is issued by the consul in Caracas, in another country.
Documents are filed in person or by post, the visit is arranged by email with the embassy, and the certificate should be ready promptly, no later than three days after the application is filed. Collection is in person or by post at the applicant's cost. We handle sending the documents to Venezuela, contact with the post and transport to Poland. Which local authorities issue the approval for removal, and how death registration works on the individual islands, we 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.
