The civil registries record facts such as birth, marriage, marital status, and death. Alongside regular entries, errors often occur during registration, such as a mistake in the first name, last name, date of birth, or some other type of error. Whether it’s an administrative error or a delay in reporting a marriage, the birth of a child, the termination of a marriage due to divorce, or the death of a spouse, we will assist you in understanding how to make corrections, how to carry them out, and, with your authorization, we can handle the correction process for you. We can also do this in all former Yugoslav (exYU) countries.
Explanations and advices
ID Documents
Identification documents include a passport, ID card, and driver’s license. When applying for these documents, you need to have a birth certificate, proof of citizenship, address registration, proof of passing the driving test, and other documents depending on the specific requirements of the application. If you need these documents or require updates or corrections to them, feel free to contact us so we can first determine whether you meet the requirements for them and, if not, guide you on how to fulfill all conditions and obtain these documents.
Citizenship
If you wish to submit an application for Serbian citizenship, you will need to provide several documents. Serbian citizenship can be acquired by birth or by registering the birth of a child. It is also possible to apply for citizenship based on descent. This application can be complex, especially for those born outside the territory of Serbia, but it is solvable with joint efforts.
If, however, you need to renounce your citizenship, whether due to the requirements of another country’s administration or personal convictions, the procedure for renunciation also has its clear and less clear steps. Contact us to resolve this citizenship issue together.
Addresses
Address registration is often a prerequisite for obtaining an ID card and sometimes for vehicle or company registration. The relevant authority for address registration differentiates between permanent and temporary addresses. An address is also crucial for obtaining other documentation. Reach out to us, and we will clear up any confusion about this as well.
Document Certification
Document certification is a frequent need for our citizens. Some countries require simple notarization or a certified copy with a translation, while others require full legalization. All procedures involving the certification of original documents, including translations, are services we can handle on your behalf with your authorization and deliver to your desired address.
Apostille
An additional requirement for document certification for foreign authorities is often the Apostille stamp, which is provided by the competent court in the jurisdiction of the issuing authority. Despite the distance, we will do everything possible to help you and deliver your certified and translated document to your chosen address.
Property
Buying or selling real estate or land can cause significant problems without the support of a reliable and skilled lawyer. Our legal team drafts purchase agreements for both buyers and sellers. We verify the authenticity, accuracy, and legality of the property or land you are interested in. After the purchase, the administration requires ownership transfer and the payment of various taxes, such as the tax on absolute rights transfer, which is something we specialize in. Feel free to contact us.
Vehicles
Buying or selling a vehicle has never been easier with our help. Our legal team drafts a purchase agreement, whether you are buying or selling a vehicle. After the purchase, the administration requires ownership transfer, tax payment, and submitting a request for a registration certificate, which is something we are well-versed in. Don’t hesitate to reach out.
Relocations
Relocation, especially for returnees to Serbia after more than two consecutive years abroad, can be a significant headache. Obtaining a customs clearance certificate will allow you to benefit from the duty-free import of goods worth up to 5,000 EUR. Contact us, and we will compile the necessary documentation to help you obtain this certificate. In addition to customs clearance, we assist with transportation in both directions and goods clearance. Feel free to ask us any questions.
Military Conscripts
If you are a male Serbian citizen of legal age, you are required to complete a simple procedure for registration in military records. Although this registration seems straightforward, it is often overlooked by our citizens and can become a complicated process during citizenship renunciation. Let us assist you in completing this on time and registering as a military conscript.
Taxes
Paying taxes is subject to the jurisdiction of your place of residence or the location of the taxable item. Whether you are paying taxes on real estate, vehicles, personal income, or the income of family members or employees, reach out to us to jointly determine if there are any unpaid obligations and how to pay your taxes.
Authorization
We cannot assist you without proper authorization. It is always important that the power of attorney covers the entire procedure but nothing beyond it. With our lawyers, you can draft an appropriate power of attorney and ensure that everything is handled without your presence.
Inheritance
Is the administration blocking you from claiming your inheritance? This certainly shouldn’t be an insurmountable obstacle if you are entitled to it by law. Together, we will form a team, remove individual obstacles, and aim to expedite the process with precise documentation so you can enter your ancestors’ home as your own as soon as possible.
Cadastre
The land registry is the authority responsible for maintaining ownership records of all real estate and land in Serbia. If you have doubts about ownership, need to confirm who owns a property, or want to correct administrative errors, we will review all the documentation with you and resolve your uncertainties.
Courts
Our excellent team of lawyers will represent your interests in any legal disputes before the courts.

Religious administration
Religious documentation has never been closer.

If records are lost or destroyed due to past adversities, we will contact the appropriate authorities to remove obstacles to your happiness. Access to archives, whether religious or otherwise, for determining ancestry, can also be arranged at your request.
