North Macedonia digital identity initiative

Overview

North Macedonia is preparing to launch the ‘m. Uslugi’ (m. Services) mobile application, with a scheduled promotion date of October 28. The initiative, announced by Minister of Digital Transformation Stefan Andonovski, will allow citizens to access electronic versions of identity cards and driver’s licenses, as well as various electronic administrative services. The application is designed as a ‘super-app’ to serve as a single digital hub for state interaction.

In its initial version, the app will provide access to electronic identity cards, driver's licenses, services for verifying work seniority, and personal data from the Central Population Register. Minister Andonovski emphasized that these digital documents are not merely photographs of physical IDs but are integrated with a secure electronic identification mechanism. To enhance security, the digital version allows users to selectively share specific information via a one-time use QR code. Once scanned and approved by the user, the code expires within 10 to 15 seconds to prevent reuse.

As of October 2026, the application is in its final testing phase. The project, valued at over 1.5 million euros, was developed by Macedonian engineers in cooperation with the European Union, the Council of Europe, Poland, and Ukraine. Minister Andonovski noted that this initiative is the first step toward the eventual adoption of the European digital wallet. Use of the app will remain voluntary and free of charge. While the Ministry of Internal Affairs is technologically prepared to accept digital documents from the first day, broader institutional adoption is expected to be a gradual process.
