We used DHL courier from Poland with no problem (picked up June 22, arrived on the 28th). Had a single tracking number all the way til the final location.

@Huntingwhale - I saw on the spreadsheets tracker we have very similar applications (Canadians in Poland sponsoring Ukrainian spouses), however we did not certify our wedding certificate through MFA, just notarized copy + translation. Wish us luck!

Yeah most notaries have that policy here. I think you can work around it (in Poland at least) by having a sworn translator present and orally verifying/translating the foreign document - our backup plan was to try that out. Luckily, I also found a sworn translator in the city that handles...
