Repatriation from the Dominican Republic to Poland

We organise bringing the deceased from the Dominican Republic 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 the Dominican Republic are collected.
Price
We will quote the price once we know the details.

Procedure: Dominican Republic

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

Documents from the Dominican Republic 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).

Dominican Republic: everything through the embassy in Panama

Matters of the Dominican Republic are handled by the Polish Embassy in Panama. Its district also covers Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. The visit is arranged by email with the consulate, and documents are submitted in person or by post.

The Panama procedure provides that, besides the permit and the death document, the consul will indicate other documents required in the host state, depending on the country and the circumstances of death. For the Dominican Republic this means the list of papers is set individually, so we do not promise it in advance. We organise contact with the consulate, collection of documents on the Dominican side, cooperation with a local funeral home and the transport of the body or urn 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 Panama City.
