Convert Your Foreign Driver’s License in Montenegro [Montenegro Driver’s License]

This article will show you a guide and steps on how to convert your foreign driver’s license in Montenegro.

Living in another country is more challenging than it sounds. From processing the papers and documents to the adjusting period, it is definitely not easy. You need to remember a lot of things: laws, culture, language, cost of living, local daily lives, etc., but here, we will talk about how you can convert your foreign driver’s license in Montenegro. This applies to those who already have a driver’s license in their home country.

Steps on How You Can Convert Your Foreign Driver’s License in Montenegro

Step 1:  With the help of a certified interpreter or translator, translate your driver’s license into Montenegrin. Bring this document with you when you apply for getting a Montenegrin driver’s license. 

Step 2: Submit the application/request to the Ministry of the Interior Affairs (MUP) at the branch in the municipality that issued your residence permit. You will receive the application form at the branch of MUP. 

Step 3: Attach your valid foreign driver’s license

Step 4: Show proof that you have lived abroad for at least 6 months. It can be a certificate from a travel document, a confirmation from the company where you worked or a school certificate, etc.

Step 5: Submit a medical certificate (LJEKARSKO UVJERENJE) not older than 6 months. You can get this at the health center in the municipality that issued your residence permit. This document costs around 30 euros and is not needed by persons under 40 years of age. 

Note: The Diplomatic and Consular Missions, the Missions of the Foreign States, and International Organizations’ staff’s Representations do not have to submit this paper either.

Step 6: Pay specific amount/fees for issuing documents. Fill in the payment slip and pay the sum requested at a nearby bank or post office. Always keep a copy of the payment slip because you will need to submit it as a proof of the requested payment. Here’s how you can fill out a payment slip:

MUP account 825 – 50 – 71 (Broj ralučna primaoca plaćanja), model 05. 

Reference number (poziv na broj) is different for every municipality. 

Purpose: Ostale uplate. 

Amount: 100.00 EUR

Step 7: Pay the 5.00 EUR fee in the same way as in step 6 to this bank account: MUP-a: 825-42-95, model 05

Reference number (poziv na broj) is different for every municipality. 

Purpose: Isprave

Step 8: Pay the 10.00 EUR fee in the same way as in step 6 to this bank account: MUP-a: 825-50-71, model 05

Reference number (poziv na broj) is different for every municipality.
