Hague Convention Information
Montenegro acceded to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (the Hague Adoption Convention) on March 9, 2012. The Hague Adoption Convention will enter into force in Montenegro on July 1, 2012, at which time all new intercountry adoptions must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Convention; the U.S. implementing legislation, the Intercountry Act of 2000 (IAA); and the IAA’s implementing regulations, as well as the applicable legal requirementsof Montenegro.
The U.S. Department of State cannot predict when Montenegro will have procedures in place and be ready to process Convention adoption cases following the Convention’s entry into force for Montenegro. Under U.S. law, the U.S. Central Authority will also need to evaluate whether those procedures conform to the standards established by the Convention and the IAA before adoptions may take place between the United States and Montengro under the Convention.
The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica will continue to monitor developments and will provide information about Montenegro’s progress toward implementing the Hague Adoption Convention. As information becomes available, the Department will post it on adoption.state.gov.
Please visit the Department of State’s Country Specific Information for more information on travelling to Montenegro and the website of the U.S. Embassy in Podgorica, Montenegro for information on consular services. Please note that the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade processes all immigrant visa cases for applicants in Montenegro and additional information in this regard can be found on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Serbia.
