Bulgarian language
Translation from and into Bulgarian
Documents for Bulgaria: citizenship by descent, study, work, property and business.
How we work
The Bulgarian direction has a feature its neighbours lack: a large share of the work relates to confirming descent — files of archival and family documents from different years, where what matters is not an individual translation but one consistent spelling of surnames across the whole set, old records included. The second point: Bulgaria requires translations by a translator accredited under its own procedure, so the form of certification is confirmed before work begins.

Frequently asked questions
I am collecting documents to confirm Bulgarian descent — where do I start?
With the list the particular institution requires, and with a review of what you already have. The usual obstacle is not the translation but a discrepancy in how a surname is spelled across documents from different years — better found before submission than after a refusal.
Who should translate for Bulgarian institutions?
Generally a translator accredited under the procedure established in Bulgaria. Tell us where the file is going and we will check the requirement and choose the matching form of certification.
Is an apostille needed?
For official Ukrainian documents, usually yes — Bulgaria is a party to the Hague Convention. The order of steps depends on the institution.
Can you work with a Soviet-era document?
Often an archival reference or re-issue in the current form is needed first. Send a photograph and the manager will say whether what you have is enough.
