If you are not using the SD, then the same info can be read from the

NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0]

NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1]

It is discussed on page 46, 47 of the nRF spec.
This is of course the random static address Nordic assigns. 
If you want your own ID, then you have to buy the block of ID's and code it yourself.

There are some subtle differences in the API's between SDK's but basically you can get the public bluetooth address (ie, mac id) via below:

sd_ble_gap_address_get(&ble_addr);

ble_addr needs to be a struct of type ble_gap_addr_t

There is another way too if you are not using the SD. Above is for soft device.
