How North Macedonia Certified Translation Works
Submit Your Documents Securely
Upload clear scans of your Macedonian documents — извод, уверение, диплома, or any other official records — through our encrypted portal. We accept PDF, JPEG, and PNG formats. Our intake specialists review each upload for legibility and completeness before assigning a translator.
Translator Assignment
Your documents are matched with a certified professional translator specialising in Macedonian (македонски) and Albanian (shqip), the two official languages of North Macedonia. We ensure your translator has subject-matter expertise for your specific document type — civil registry, legal, academic, or medical.
Translation and Certification
The translator produces an accurate English translation — or into any of our 100+ supported target languages — and appends a signed certification statement attesting to completeness and accuracy. The certification meets the standards required by USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, and credential evaluation agencies such as WES.
Delivery with Full Certification
Receive your certified translation as a high-resolution PDF by email within your chosen turnaround window. If physical delivery is required, the original signed and stamped translation is shipped via tracked international courier to your address in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, or elsewhere.

Common Scenarios for North Macedonia Document Translation
Immigration and Visa Applications
North Macedonian citizens applying for visas or residency in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Australia frequently need certified translations of their извод од матичната книга на родените (birth certificate), уверение за државјанство (citizenship certificate), and criminal record certificates for immigration authorities including USCIS, UKVI, and IRCC.
Academic Credential Evaluation
Students and professionals from North Macedonia seeking recognition of their diplomas and university transcripts abroad require certified translations accepted by credential evaluation bodies such as WES (World Education Services), ICAS, and ENIC-NARIC. We translate дипломи и уверенија за положени испити from Macedonian universities for international recognition.
Marriage and Family Reunification
Couples registering an international marriage or applying for family reunification visas need certified translations of their извод од матичната книга на венчаните (marriage certificate) and birth certificates. Our translations are accepted by civil registry offices and immigration authorities in EU countries, the UK, and beyond.
Corporate and Business Documents
Companies operating in North Macedonia or entering the market need certified translations of нотарски акти (notarial deeds), company registration documents from the Централен регистар на Република Северна Македонија (Central Registry), contracts, and financial statements for international partners and regulators.
Legal Proceedings and Court Documents
Legal proceedings involving North Macedonian parties or documents — court judgments, powers of attorney, inheritance records, and criminal record certificates — require certified translation for submission to foreign courts, law firms, and arbitration panels. We handle both Macedonian Cyrillic and Latin-script Albanian documents.
Understanding North Macedonia’s Sworn Translator System
North Macedonia uses a судски преведувач (sworn court translator) system for official domestic purposes. Sworn translators are appointed by the courts of North Macedonia and maintain registration lists held by each competent court. Their translations bear an official court-issued stamp and a handwritten signature, which are required when submitting translated documents to Macedonian state institutions — including courts, the Ministry of Interior (Министерство за внатрешни работи), and the Office for Management of Civil Registers (Управа за водење на матичните книги).
For international purposes the situation differs. Immigration authorities in the United States (USCIS), the United Kingdom (UKVI), Canada (IRCC), and Australia do not require sworn translators as defined under Macedonian law. These authorities accept certified translations — translations accompanied by a signed statement from a professional translator attesting to accuracy and completeness. DoVisa’s certified translation service meets these international standards and is the appropriate choice for visa applications, immigration petitions, and credential evaluations abroad.
The Macedonian Translators and Interpreters Association (MATA — Македонско здружение на преведувачи и толкувачи) represents professional translators in the country and maintains a directory of over 120 qualified translators covering 31 languages. Whether you need certified translation for international use or sworn translation for Macedonian domestic submission, DoVisa can assist with the appropriate service for your destination.

North Macedonia’s Civil Registry and Apostille Process
North Macedonia’s civil registration system (матични книги) is administered by the Управа за водење на матичните книги (Office for Management of Civil Registers, UVMK), which maintains registers of births, marriages, and deaths across local registration offices throughout the country. Records are held at the municipal level. Key civil documents include the Извод од матичната книга на родените (birth certificate extract), Извод од матичната книга на венчаните (marriage certificate extract), and Извод од матичната книга на умрените (death certificate extract).
Because North Macedonia has been a Contracting Party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 20 September 1993, documents issued by Macedonian authorities can be legalised for international use through an apostille rather than the lengthier consular legalization chain. Apostilles are issued by the Ministry of Justice (Министерство за правда) and by the 27 First Instance Courts across the country. Civil registry and notarial documents receive an apostille within approximately 10 business days, while educational certificates require approximately 30 business days due to additional verification steps with the Ministry of Education.
DoVisa coordinates the full apostille chain as an add-on to your certified translation order. Our team liaises with the appropriate Macedonian authority to obtain the apostille and delivers the complete package — translated, certified, and apostilled — ready for submission to any Hague Convention member country’s institutions.
