HOW TO OBTAIN APOSTILLE FOR MONTENEGRO?

The apostille stamp is used to certify the seal and the signature on the original document. Therefore, it does not certify the content of the document but confirms that the seal and signature themselves are authentic. Montenegro is a participant in the Hague Apostille Convention, which requires an Apostille from the Secretary of State for any official document destined for the country. The certification procedure implies that our agent comes to the Ministry of Justice, Human and Minority Rights with a document that needs to be certified and the certification can then be used in another country.

REQUIRED STEPS BEFORE LEGALISING MONTENEGRIN DOCUMENTS WITH AN APOSTILLE CERTIFICATE

Important documents must be notarized, which gives an extra layer of legal protection. When a notary authenticates a signature, it confirms that the people signing the document are the ones they claim to be. Notarial certifications can be obtained in city municipalities as well as in private organizations whose names may be found in the “Notary Chamber of Montenegro”. Before submitting documents to municipal court, the identity of the signatory must be verified: an identity card or passport and the original document. Once we have obtained the documents you want to certify: we can bring them to the court and submit them to the court office with the senior certification officer, who will review the documents you want to certify. For each certification, a court fee is paid, which is determined by the type of certification (signature, manuscript, transcript, statement, translation).
