1. What is a Consulate?
The consulate offers similar services as a “prefecture” or a town hall for the Polish visiting or living abroad.
The Polish consulate in London is responsible for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as Jersey and Guernsey, Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands.
2. How can the Consulate help in case of death?
In case of death, the consulate informs your family, and it can help with formalities to repatriate the body, but it does not pay for it.
The consulate cannot issue the death certificate. This document is issued by the local authorities in the area where the death occurred, and subsequently, it can be transcribed at the Consulate, although this is not mandatory, as the document can be translated and registered in Poland.
3. Where can you find the consulate?
In London the General Consulate for Poland can be found at 10 Bouverie Street, London EC4Y 8AX.
