Overview

​
Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in North Macedonia and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 13-digit number. VAT-registered entities prefix “MK” to form a 15-char VAT ID (e.g. MK4032013544513). Mandatory on all invoices. Issued automatically on company registration. Registration number: 7-digit unique registration number assigned by CRRNM. Distinct from EDB. Appears on the Izvod extract.

Sector regulators

ISA/ASO — Insurance Supervision Agency · UJP · NBRSM · SEC/KHoV

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​
Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.

​
Collection notes

  • Legal Registration: Official extract from CRRNM; includes EMBS, EDB, entity type, registered address, founders, management. Searchable free of charge at crm.com.mk.
  • Constitutive Documents: Notarised constitutive document filed with CRRNM at incorporation; single document for DOO; DOOEL uses a unilateral declaration (izjava).
  • Tax Registration: Issued by UJP; confirms 13-digit EDB. For VAT payers, UJP also issues a VAT certificate showing the “MK” + EDB format.
  • Operating Permit: Issued by the relevant local municipality (opština); required for general trading at the registered address; scope varies by municipality.
  • Sector-Specific License: NBRSM for banks and payment institutions; SEC/KHoV for investment firms and funds; ISA/ASO for insurance; MAPAS for pension companies.
  • Ownership Records: Shareholder / member list for DOO and AD entities appears in the CRRNM Izvod extract.
  • Governance Records: Lists current managers (upravitel) for DOO or board members for AD; updated via change-of-data filing at CRRNM.
  • Signing Authority: Notarisation required for PoAs granting broad signing authority; manager authority derives from appointment recorded in CRRNM Izvod.
  • Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
  • Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. CRRNM does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; a dated Izvod extract (≤30 days) is the practitioner-standard live-status document and is captured under business_registration.

​
Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

  • EMBS ≠ EDB. The 7-digit EMBS (registration number, issued by CRRNM) and the 13-digit EDB (tax ID, issued by UJP) are distinct identifiers. Both should be collected; map EMBS to businessInfo.businessEntityId and EDB to businessInfo.taxId.
  • AD minimum capital is EUR-denominated. Minimum is EUR 25,000 (simultaneous establishment, no public offer) or EUR 50,000 (successive, with public offer), each in MKD counter-value per NBRM middle rate on the day prior to statute adoption.
  • EU candidate, not EU member — AMLR/AMLD6 not directly applicable. AML obligations derive from domestic law (OG 151/2022, latest amendments OG 208/2024, eff. 2024-10-17); the EU AMLR (2024/1624, eff. 2027-07-10) will not bind North Macedonia until accession.
