Montenegro keeps two consular offices in the United States, in New York and Washington. This page gives what we hold for each of them and links the six consular procedures Montenegrin citizens ask about most.
Every office below carries the address and telephone we hold for it, and its official website where the mission publishes one. Where a field is missing it is because we do not have it, not because it does not exist.

U.S. documents for use in Montenegro
Montenegro has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 3 June 2006. A U.S. birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma or power of attorney needs an apostille from the Secretary of State of the state that issued it — not a consular legalisation. The office above does not need to stamp it, and should not charge you to.

Translation
Documents issued in Montenegro usually arrive in Montenegrin, so a U.S. authority will normally want a certified English translation, and Montenegrin authorities will want the reverse for U.S. paperwork. Who counts as a certified translator is decided by the authority that receives the document, not by the consulate, so ask before you pay for one.
Closest is not always correct
Consulates divide the United States into jurisdictions by state, and the office nearest you is not necessarily the one that can serve you. Montenegro publishes that division on its own missions' websites; we link those on each office page where the mission has one. For anything that needs you to appear in person, confirm which office covers your state before you travel. For postal services some offices accept applications from outside their jurisdiction and some do not — that one you have to ask.
