Did you know? North Macedonia

In February 2024, hundreds of thousands of North Macedonians woke up to find their passports legally void. The 2018 Prespa Agreement that ended a decades-long naming dispute with Greece required every passport, ID card and driving licence reading "Republic of Macedonia" to be reissued as "Republic of North Macedonia" within five years. When that deadline hit on 12 February 2024, all old-name documents became invalid overnight, triggering a frantic rush at passport offices nationwide. Few countries have ever rewritten the identity printed in every citizen's pocket to satisfy a treaty over a single word.

  • Documents A 2018 peace treaty with Greece forced North Macedonia to reissue every passport and ID card under the new name "Republic of North Macedonia," and on 12 February 2024 all documents still bearing the old name "Macedonia" became legally invalid.
  • Passport power The North Macedonian passport ranks 37th on the Henley Passport Index, opening roughly 126 destinations visa-free or visa-on-arrival, while neighbouring EU passports clear 180-plus.
  • Travel quirk North Macedonians hold a rare standing arrangement for 30-day visa-free entry to mainland China, and can stay visa-free in Peru for an unusually generous 183 days.
  • Currency The Macedonian denar takes its name from the ancient Roman denarius coin, and after a 1993 reform that swapped 100 old denars for one new one, coins worth less than a single denar fell out of use entirely by 2013.
  • Citizenship North Macedonia was the only Yugoslav republic to gain independence without war, voting 96% for sovereignty in a peaceful 1991 referendum while ethnic conflict engulfed its neighbours.
  • Demographics The 2021 census counted just 1,836,713 residents, a 9.2% drop in two decades, with ethnic Albanians making up about 24% as the country's largest minority.
  • World record Lake Ohrid, straddling the western border, is one of Europe's oldest lakes at an estimated two to three million years old, home to over 200 species found nowhere else on Earth.
  • History The town of Ohrid hosted a literary school founded in 886 AD where the disciples of Saints Cyril and Methodius helped shape the Cyrillic alphabet now used across the Slavic world.
  • Famous birth Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje in 1910, then a town of the Ottoman Empire and today North Macedonia's capital.
