About this statute

This provision identifies Law 2171 of 2021, which creates mechanisms for the repatriation of the bodies of nationals who are abroad. This provision says the law’s purpose is to create mechanisms to cover expenses, procedures, and services for repatriating bodies or human remains and for funeral coverage for Colombians who die abroad. This article defines key terms for funeral, exequial insurance, repatriation, informed consent, and passport-related concepts, and says funeral services are not insurance activity. El Gobierno debe reglamentar los mecanismos de repatriación de cuerpos para colombianos fallecidos en el exterior dentro de un año. The passport-related repatriation mechanism fee is charged once when the passport is issued or renewed, and its cost must be marginal.
