The Nationality law of North Macedonia is governed by the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia (article 4) of 1991 and the Law on Citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia (Macedonian: Закон за државјанството на Република Северна Македонија, Albanian: Ligji për shtetësinë e Republikës së Maqedonisë së Veriut) of 1992 (with changes made in various years through to 2019). The citizenship of North Macedonia is based primarily on the principle of Jus sanguinis. In other words, one usually acquires citizenship of North Macedonia if a parent is a national of North Macedonia, irrespective of place of birth.
