Birth and death records are in a national database available from the civil registrars throughout Montenegro.^[1]

Marriage records are currently only at the civil registry where the marriage happened.^[1]

Historical Background

The marriage certificate does not usually show if the marriage took place by proxy. Prior to May l0, 1946, marriage records were maintained by church authorities. After that, only civil marriages are legal.

During WWII, many records, particularly in Montenegro, were destroyed and were reconstructed later.^[1]
