This is one of the most stressful situations for seafarers.
The document is lost, meaning your flight, contract, and travel dates are in jeopardy.
We’ll figure out what to do 👇
📍 Option 1: Ukrainian Certificate of Loss
Duration: approximately 2 months
Important: Your personal presence is not required—a lawyer can handle all the necessary procedures in Ukraine on your behalf.
📍 Option 2: Polish Certificate of Loss
Duration: approximately 7 business days
A faster option for those in the Schengen area
📍 Option 3: Alternative—Polish Seaman’s Passport
If you don’t have time to wait or don’t want to renew your Ukrainian document, you can apply for a Polish seaman’s passport remotely.
👉 This solution is increasingly being chosen by seafarers who want to preserve their contracts and quickly return to work.
📌 Which option is right for you depends on your situation, timeframe, and location.
