The process of teleportation of a completely unknown single-photon relativistic state is considered. Analysis of the relativistic case reveals that the teleportation as it is understood in the non-relativistic quantum mechanics is impossible if no {\it a priori} information on the state to be teleported is available. It is only possible to speak of the amplitude of the propagation of the field (taking into account the measurement procedure) since the existence of a common vacuum state together with the microcausality principle (the field operators commutation relations) make the concept of the propagation amplitude for the individual subsystems physically meaningless. When partial {\it a priori} information is available (for example, only the polarization state of the photon is unknown while its spatial state is specified beforehand), the teleportation does become possible in the relativistic case. In that case the {\it a priori} information can be used to ``label'' the identical particles to make them effectively distinguishable.
