To have a car registered in your own name in Montenegro you must have Temporary residency.You must get your Temporary residents card and then you can apply to have the car in your own name.The other option is for you to get a friend to put the car in their name if you don't have a temporary residency card.There is also a tax to be paid if you are changing ownership of car into your name and this based on the value of the car.

I would agree strongly with your advice about putting the car ownership in your friends name as you dont know what might happen. I had my car in my friends name and my friend owed some money and debt collectors were about to seize my car but my friend told me about it so I took out temporary residency and it was possible to put the car in my name.

Around 5% for transfer ownership + some 200-800 euros registration for a year (this includes technical inspection + insurance) depending on the car's engine
