How to register a wedding in Montenegro

There are no long queues for marriage registration in Montenegro, which allows the process to be completed very quickly. We can coordinate all matters with the local registry office even before your arrival and arrange a convenient time for your wedding.

To get married in Montenegro, the following documents are required:

  • Birth certificates.
  • Divorce certificates (if applicable).
  • International passports.
  • Certificates of no impediment to marriage, issued within the last 3 months.

If you have witnesses, copies of their international passports are required. If you do not have witnesses, we will provide them.

City of service: Herceg Novi.

We advise you to follow these

  • Plan your wedding date in advance. To do this, we need you to send us scanned copies of your documents. We will check the documents and schedule the wedding for a convenient date before your arrival in Montenegro.

    It is very important to make arrangements in advance with both the registry office and the court translator to be sure that all documents are in order and the ceremony can be organized on the desired date.

We advise you to not to do these

  • We do not recommend organizing a wedding in a hurry. Sometimes people arrive in Montenegro for just 2–3 days and want to get married urgently. Yes, there are usually no long queues at the registry office, and in general, it is possible to arrange a wedding quite quickly. However, there are cases when the registry office is closed for a few days or the court translator is not available on the chosen date. That’s why everything should be planned in advance — this habit is very helpful in life.

Apostille on documents

Attention: Depending on the country that issued a particular document, you may or may not require an apostille. An apostille is NOT REQUIRED if the document was issued in Russia, Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Croatia, Iraq, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, Macedonia, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, or Ukraine. If the document was issued in any other country, please have an apostille placed on it.

*An apostille is not required for international passports.

Our services include:

  • Preparation of documents for organizing the wedding ceremony

  • Communication with the registry office, court translator, and payment of the fee

  • Submission of documents to the registry office

  • Providing witnesses for the ceremony, if needed

  • Assistance with obtaining an apostille on the marriage certificate, if required

The timelines for organizing a wedding in Montenegro

Preparation stage: document translation. The timeline depends on the translator’s workload and the language from which the documents need to be translated. If time is limited, it is better to do this before arriving in Montenegro. We can translate your

documents in advance; for this, you need to send high-quality photos of them and the payment for the translation.

I strongly recommend translating the documents and submitting them to the registry office before your arrival in Montenegro. First, it saves time. Second, this is the only way to be sure that your documents are prepared correctly and that there are no issues with them.

The actual wedding ceremony: usually takes 1-2 days. At the end of the process, you will receive 2 Montenegrin marriage certificates (in Montenegrin) and 2 international certificates (in many languages).

Specifics of organizing same-sex marriages in Montenegro

To register a same-sex marriage in Montenegro, you will additionally need:

  • A certificate stating that you are not in a partnership with a person of the same sex. This document can be prepared in advance in your home country or issued in Montenegro. The processing time for this document is about one hour.

Apostille on the marriage certificate

If an apostille is required on the marriage certificate, it will take an additional 1-3 business days. Whether this is needed depends on your goals, i.e., which institutions and in which countries the marriage certificate obtained in Montenegro will be used.
