North Macedonia has been a Hague Apostille member since 17 November 1991 (inherited from the former Yugoslav state succession) and accepts Indian MEA apostille. Sworn Macedonian translation by a sudski preveduvač (court-sworn translator on the Macedonian Ministry of Justice register) is usually required after apostille for the Type D visa, student admission, and NARIC North Macedonia degree recognition. North Macedonia is an EU candidate country, not yet a member, so the residence permit does not unlock Schengen travel.

See the NRI document legalisation serviceNorth Macedonia: route, translation and receiving authority
North Macedonia runs on three desks for us. Type D work visa tied to a Macedonian employer (busiest in construction, hospitality and IT in Skopje, Tetovo and Bitola). Student admissions at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, the medical faculty at Skopje, and the technical universities. And family reunion for spouses joining workers already in North Macedonia.
North Macedonia is Hague. State HRD on educational documents, SDM or Home on personal documents, then MEA apostille. That is the India-side steps.
Macedonian translation has to be done by a sudski preveduvač (court-sworn translator) appointed by the Macedonian Ministry of Justice. Most Macedonian authorities including the Ministry of Interior, universities, and the EMBS (business registry) for company submissions expect this. A general English-to-Macedonian translation done in India is usually not accepted. We coordinate apostille first, then route translation through a sudski preveduvač.
For degree recognition, the Macedonian National Information Centre for Academic Recognition of Foreign Qualifications (NARIC North Macedonia) at the Ministry of Education handles foreign-degree recognition for university admission and regulated professions. We prepare apostilled and sworn-translated input documents.
North Macedonia is an EU candidate country, not yet a member. Travel is visa-required for Indians, the residence permit is collected in Skopje after arrival, and onward Schengen travel is not automatic.

Avoid this mistake
Translation and academic recognition are separate; one does not replace the other.
India side, by city & state
Where your North Macedonia case usually starts in India
Indian-side authentication is state-led: educational documents go through your degree's issuing state HRD, and personal documents go through SDM or the Home Department of your domicile state. These are the state HRDs and city pickup pages most North Macedonia cases actually run through.

How SiZA Global Handles It
Checks before sending North Macedonia documents
North Macedonia accepts MEA apostille as the final India-side stamp. No Macedonian embassy attestation step.
Macedonian translation must be done by a sudski preveduvač on the Macedonian Ministry of Justice register, not a general English-to-Macedonian translation done in India.
Apostille first, sworn translation after. The translator has to render the apostille text along with the document.
North Macedonia is an EU candidate country, not yet a member. Residence permit does not unlock Schengen travel.
NARIC North Macedonia at the Ministry of Education handles degree recognition. We prepare the input apostilled and translated documents.
For Indian medical and dental students at Ss. Cyril and Methodius, plan the documents before the Macedonian academic year because recognition takes its own time after admission.

North Macedonia document questions
Does North Macedonia accept MEA apostille from India?
Yes. North Macedonia has been a Hague Apostille member since 17 November 1991, inherited from the former Yugoslav state succession. MEA apostille from India is the final India-side stamp. No Macedonian embassy attestation step. Sworn Macedonian translation by a sudski preveduvač is usually required after apostille.
Is North Macedonia in the EU or Schengen?
Neither, as of May 2026. North Macedonia is an EU candidate country and accession negotiations are ongoing. Indian applicants need a Macedonian visa, and the residence permit you collect in Skopje does not let you travel freely within the Schengen Area.
Can I get the Macedonian translation done in India?
For most Macedonian authorities, no. The Ministry of Interior, universities, EMBS and the regulated-profession bodies expect translation by a sudski preveduvač on the Macedonian Ministry of Justice register. A general English-to-Macedonian translation done in India is usually rejected. We coordinate this through sudski preveduvač contacts after the apostille so the apostille text is also rendered in Macedonian.

Since I cannot personally do it, I found this agency online and contacted them. I sent them a pdf file of my marriage certificate and passport, they did everything from home department attestation, apostille, Italian translation and legalization from Italian consulate, Mumbai all within 40 days and send it to me by DHL to Italy. They were a life saver because there are only very few agencies in India who does legalization from Italian consulate.
