Frequently asked questions

The price depends on the language pair, page count, document format, deadline and whether an apostille or legalization is needed. That is why we do not publish a price list – send a scan or photo and you will get a free, no-obligation quote.

Turnaround depends on the document type, language and certifications required, and is stated in the quote. Urgent service is possible for most documents.

Yes. A scan or photo sent by email or through the form is enough for a quote. If the original is needed for certification, we tell you how to send it.

An apostille certifies the authenticity of a public document and is recognised by countries party to the 1961 Hague Convention. You need one when a Montenegrin document is used in another member country, or a foreign document in Montenegro.

Usually the apostille goes on the original, then the document and the apostille are translated. Some countries require a different order, so we check before starting.

Yes, in all 25 municipalities. We receive documents electronically, by post or by courier and return finished documents to your address. Interpreters attend on site.

Yes. We prepare the text, you sign it before a notary or at a consulate where you live, an apostille is added where required and it is translated into Montenegrin.

Documents are used only to prepare the quote and perform the service, are accessible only to staff and interpreters working on your file, and are kept only as long as necessary. See the privacy policy.

A scan or clear photo is enough for a quote. Whether the certified translation itself requires the original or a certified copy depends on the institution you are submitting it to – we state this in the quote.

Yes. We translate foreign documents into Montenegrin for use with Montenegrin authorities, and Montenegrin documents into foreign languages for use abroad.

Turnaround depends on length and language and is stated in the quote. Urgent jobs can be arranged.

Usually the apostille goes on the original, and then both the document and the apostille are translated. Some countries require a different order or an apostille on the translation too, so we check the destination country’s rules before starting.

If the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, an apostille is enough. Other countries require full legalization. Tell us where the document will be used and we will confirm the procedure.

Yes. Only the issuing country can apostille a document, so we obtain it there through our international network.

No. Certification is carried out by a notary or another competent authority. We prepare the documents, book the appointment, provide the interpreter and collect the certified document, translation and apostille.

Yes. You sign it before a notary or at a consulate in the country where you are, an apostille is added where required and it is translated into Montenegrin. Before you sign, we send you a text that meets the requirements of Montenegrin institutions.

Depending on the document, a power of attorney or signed application and a copy of your ID. We send the exact list with the quote.

Yes, through our international network. Tell us which document you need and from which country, and we will check the procedure and timing.

In consecutive interpreting the speaker pauses and the interpreter translates after each segment – suited to meetings, notaries and courts. Simultaneous interpreting runs at the same time as the speech, usually from a booth, and is used at conferences.

The earlier the better – especially for less common languages and the summer season on the coast. For urgent dates, write to us and we will check availability.
