Procedures for Acquiring Citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia

CITIZENSHIP is a legal bond between you and the state and does not indicate your ethnic origin.

According to the Constitution, the citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) is regulated by law and cannot be taken away. The law that regulates citizenship is the Citizenship Law from 1992, amended and supplemented by the Laws on Amendments and Supplements to the Citizenship Law from 2004, 2008, 2011, 2016, and 2021.

HOW TO BECOME A CITIZEN OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA?

• By descent, i.e., if you are born to a parent(s) who is/are citizens of the Republic of North Macedonia

• In exceptional circumstances, by birth in the Republic of North Macedonia

• By naturalization

BY DESCENT OR BY BIRTH

WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP BY DESCENT?

After birth, your child acquires citizenship of RNM if at least one parent is a citizen of RNM.

Your child acquires citizenship of RNM by descent when the following conditions are met:

• If both parents are citizens of RNM, your child acquires RNM citizenship regardless of the place of birth.

• If one parent is a citizen of RNM and the child is born in RNM, then the other parent must agree for the child to acquire RNM citizenship.

• If the child is born abroad and only one parent is a citizen of RNM, the child will acquire RNM citizenship if:

  • You submit a request for registration of the child in the citizen register before the child turns 18;

  • or the child returns to live in RNM with you before turning 18;

  • or the child between 18 and 23 years submits a request for registration in the citizen register.

Note that if the other parent is unknown or has unknown citizenship, the child acquires RNM citizenship by descent regardless of the place of birth.

WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED TO SUBMIT TO THE REGIONAL UNIT OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

Together with the application form, you must submit:

• Birth certificate of the child

• Proof of RNM citizenship of the parents

• If the child is a minor, consent from the parent who is not a citizen of RNM

• Identity card of the parent or guardian

• Power of attorney if the application is submitted by an authorized person

The registration and consent forms are issued free of charge at the regional unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD IS BORN ABROAD?

You must submit a request to register the birth and citizenship in the registry office in the place of residence of the parent who is a citizen of RNM. If abroad, report the birth to the nearest RNM embassy or consulate.

WHAT IF I ADOPT A CHILD?

Your fully adopted child will also acquire RNM citizenship by descent if one or both parents are RNM citizens.

DOES EVERY CHILD BORN IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRE CITIZENSHIP?

No, only children with at least one parent who is a citizen of RNM. However, a child found or born in RNM with unknown or stateless parents acquires RNM citizenship. This citizenship will end if before the child turns 15 it is established that the parents are foreign citizens and the child will not become stateless.

NATURALIZATION

WHAT IS NATURALIZATION?

Naturalization is the voluntary acquisition of citizenship as an adult after fulfilling the legal requirements of the state in which you live. In RNM, it is mostly based on years of legal residence or marriage to an RNM citizen. Minor children will also receive the citizenship, but they must be included in your citizenship application.

HOW TO APPLY?

You must personally submit a completed application form (free of charge at any regional unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) along with the required documents.

DO I NEED TO PAY A FEE?

Yes, an administrative fee of 100 euros. You pay 20 euros before submitting the application and the remaining 80 euros if the citizenship is granted.

OTHER CONDITIONS FOR FOREIGNERS LIVING IN RNM FOR AT LEAST 7 YEARS

You must:

1. Be over 18 years old

2. Have lived legally and continuously in RNM for at least 7 years
