About: notary
A notary (notar) drafts and certifies documents that carry extra legal weight: property purchase contracts, powers of attorney, statements, and certified signatures and copies, and handles certain inheritance and other procedures. Foreigners in Montenegro usually meet a notary when buying property or a car, giving someone authority to act for them, or needing a certified copy for use abroad. Which documents must go through a notary, and what to bring, is best confirmed directly with the notary's office.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Simple signature or copy certifications may be possible during opening hours, but contracts and more complex documents need a booked slot. Check the office hours and booking method on the profile.
I don't speak Montenegrin. Can I still sign?
Usually a court interpreter must be present so you understand what you are signing. Arrange this with the notary in advance.
What should I bring?
A valid passport or residence card and every document relevant to the deal, such as the title deed or draft contract. Ask the office for the exact list for your case.
What affects the notary fee?
The type of document, the value of the transaction and the number of copies or certifications. Notary fees follow an official tariff, so ask the office for the amount before you go.
Can a document certified here be used in my home country?
Often an apostille or further legalisation is needed as well. Check with the institution that will receive the document what exactly they require.
