Seafarer's passport delivery abroad and to Ukraine
SEMERO organizes international document delivery via global express services. Shipments can be arranged from Ukraine to another country or from abroad to Ukraine.
Important: A seafarer's passport is a document suitable for international delivery. It falls under the category of documents that can be sent via international courier services, provided that carrier requirements and the legislation of the departure and destination countries are met.
Before shipping, we recommend checking if delivery is possible for a specific route, as requirements may vary depending on the country.
From SEMERO's practice: for simplified customs processing, international document shipments are considered to be up to 2 kg. If the weight exceeds 2 kg, it is already treated as a parcel and may require an invoice and appropriate customs clearance.

How much does seafarer's passport delivery cost?
The cost of international document delivery depends on the country of origin, destination country, city and address, actual or volumetric weight, chosen courier service, and delivery time.
Since a seafarer's passport is a light document, in most cases, the route determines the cost rather than the weight of the passport itself. To get the current price, use the SEMERO calculator or contact a manager.
How long does seafarer's passport delivery take?
International express document delivery is carried out by air. The timeframe depends on the specific route and destination country. For popular international destinations, delivery can take from several business days.
The actual time may also be affected by weekends and holidays, work of customs and government agencies, peculiarities of the destination country, address accuracy, and the need for additional shipment verification.
Before processing, SEMERO informs you about available delivery options and estimated timeframes.
Can I track a seafarer's passport?
Yes. After the international express waybill (AWB) is issued, the shipment can be tracked using its number. Tracking allows you to see the main stages of movement: shipment receipt, courier collection, arrival at the sorting center, air transport, arrival in the destination country, and delivery to the recipient.
- Do not share the AWB number with unauthorized persons if you do not want to reveal information about your shipment.
How to properly pack a seafarer's passport for shipping
For international delivery, we recommend protecting the seafarer's passport from damage and moisture. The optimal option is:
- place the document in a protective bag
- use a document envelope
- if necessary, add extra protection against bending
- securely seal the envelope
- check the accuracy of the recipient's address and contact number
What data is needed to deliver a seafarer's passport?
To arrange international delivery, sender and recipient information is needed. Usually, we require:

- full address
- city
- country
- postal code
- phone number
- email (if necessary)
- sender's details
Is customs clearance for a seafarer's passport needed?
Simplified rules for international mailing apply to documents, but specific requirements depend on the country and courier service.
It is important to distinguish between a document and a parcel. If the shipment meets the document delivery conditions and weighs up to 2 kg, it can be processed as a document. If the weight exceeds 2 kg or goods are shipped along with the document, parcel rules and corresponding customs procedures may apply.
If you have an unusual situation, it is better to check it before handing the shipment to the courier.
