How to obtain a Montenegrin driver’s license based on a license from your home country?

If you are a foreign citizen with temporary residence in Montenegro, one of the important steps to adapt to your new life may be to exchange your driver’s license from your home country for a Montenegrin one. This process may seem complicated, but with the right information and our support, everything can be done quickly and easily. In this blog, we will explain in detail what you need and how the process of obtaining a driver’s license in Montenegro works.

Who can apply?

The right to exchange a driver’s license is granted to foreign nationals who have resided in Montenegro for at least 185 days, or six months. This is the basic requirement that must be met before starting the license exchange process.

What documentation is required?

To exchange your driver’s license, you need to gather the following documents:

1. Copy of your original driver’s license – The license must be valid, and the categories you hold must match those recognized in Montenegro.
2. Translation of the driver’s license – The translation must be done by a certified court interpreter to ensure that your license is officially recognized in Montenegro.
3. Medical certificate – This certificate serves as proof that you are fit to drive. The cost of this document is approximately 20.00 EUR.
4. Administrative fee – To issue the new driver’s license, a fee of 35.00 EUR must be paid.

Important notes:

• The categories in your driver’s license must be aligned with the categories recognized in Montenegro. Otherwise, additional tests will be required for certain categories.
• The process of issuing the new license takes about 14 days, so it is important to plan ahead if you need the license for everyday activities.

Steps to obtaining the license:

1. Prepare the required documentation and make sure all conditions are met.
2. Pay the necessary fees and obtain the medical certificate.
3. Submit the documentation to the relevant authorities responsible for issuing driver’s licenses in Montenegro.
4. After submission, your new Montenegrin driver’s license will be ready in 14 days.
