How to obtain a police certificate

Montenegro

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes.

Please note that a court certificate is not accepted.

How and where do I obtain one?

If You Live in Montenegro
You should apply for a Certificate of No Conviction (Uverenje o nekaznjavanju) at your local police station (Uprava policije, Centar bezbjednosti) where you live. You will need to provide your identification card (licna karta) and pay applicable fees.

If You Live Outside of Montenegro

You can give a notarized statement, translated into the Serbian language and verified by the embassy of Montenegro, to a relative or a friend who can obtain the certificate for you. This notarized statement should be submitted to the police station where you last resided in Montenegro, along with a certified copy of your identification card and applicable fees.

Foreigners who lived in Montenegro (excluding former Yugoslav nationals) may obtain a police certificate from the Inspector for Foreigners of the local Police Station where they last resided in Montenegro.

You may apply for the police certificate at the Embassy of Montenegro closest to where you currently reside.
