Court interpreter in Montenegro: when is he required and how we help our clients

When buying real estate in Montenegro, foreign citizens are faced with an important requirement of local legislation — the participation of a court interpreter. Many buyers learn about this only before signing the contract with a notary, although the participation of an interpreter is a mandatory element of the transaction.

Our company accompanies clients at all stages of the purchase of real estate in Montenegro and helps to organize the work of a licensed court interpreter both at the conclusion of the transaction and at the translation of documents.

When a court interpreter is required

If at least one of the parties to the notarial transaction does not speak the Montenegrin language sufficiently, the notary is obliged to ensure the participation of an official court interpreter.

The translator is present when signing documents and performs several important functions.:

translates the contents of the purchase agreement;

clarifies the rights and obligations of the parties;

ensures proper understanding of all terms of the transaction;

confirms to the notary that the foreign citizen understands the contents of the signed documents.

This requirement is aimed at protecting the interests of all parties to the transaction and excludes the possibility of misinterpretation of the terms of the agreement.

Who is a court interpreter?

A court translator is a specialist officially appointed by the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro and authorized to perform oral and written translations for government agencies, courts, notaries and other official institutions.

Only translations performed by a judicial translator are recognized by the State authorities of Montenegro when processing most legally significant documents.

What documents should be translated by a court interpreter?

In many cases, foreign citizens require an official written translation of documents.

The most frequently translated:

passports;

birth certificates;

marriage certificates;

divorce certificates;

Powers of attorney;

constituent documents of companies;

court decisions;

notarial documents;

documents for obtaining a residence permit;

documents for opening a company;

documents for inheritance registration;

contracts and agreements.

Such translations are certified by a judicial translator and accepted by notaries, courts, cadastre, banks and government agencies of Montenegro.

An interpreter is needed not only at the notary

Court interpreter services may be needed in other situations.

For example:

when negotiating with a real estate seller;

during object views;

when communicating with developers;

when visiting a bank;
