The route to North Macedonia
A Naturalization Certificate is issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For North Macedonia, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to North Macedonia for family and residency matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
