Apply for a mortuary passport

As a rule, a mortuary passport is required for the transfer of a corpse abroad if the destination country or a country touched on the journey requires one. The mortuary passport is issued in several languages.
The mortuary passport must be applied for by the relative responsible for the funeral or by the funeral home in charge of the transport.
