Certified Bulgarian Document Translation Services

Bulgarian records can combine Cyrillic, Latin-script fields, municipality data, seals, and handwritten amendments. Corpus provides digital certified translation only, not notarization, apostille service, hard copies, interpretation, procurement, authentication, credential evaluation, legal advice, or outcome guarantees. See pricing and the language directory.

Send the complete record, including both sides, because Bulgarian civil certificates can contain untranslated fields, seals, or notes outside the main form.

A Bulgarian birth certificate may be titled Удостоверение за раждане (Udostoverenie za razhdane) and is issued locally. Keep the municipality, child and parent names, event and registration details, identifiers, signature, round seal, amendments, and reverse side visible. The ЕГН/EGN Uniform Civil Number is preserved exactly, never inferred, corrected, or validated. See birth certificate translation guidance.

A marriage certificate, Удостоверение за сключен граждански брак, can show both spouses’ names, pre/post-marriage surnames, date, place, register data, seal, and signature. Review marriage certificate translation requirements. A death record may be titled Препис-извлечение от акт за смърт. U.S. reciprocity guidance says the local death report omits cause of death, so none is inferred.

A multilingual certificate may reduce translation scope, but every side must be checked for Bulgarian-only fields, seals, notes, or amendments.

Current U.S. reciprocity guidance describes Bulgarian birth, marriage, and death certificates issued in Bulgarian, French, and English and identifies them as two-sided. Existing English does not make a Bulgarian-only round seal, reverse-side note, registry amendment, or handwritten field disappear. Upload the whole document so Corpus can scope only material that needs translation. We do not charge for unnecessary English-to-English work.

The recipient decides which record version it needs. Translation cannot turn one version into another or cure a missing page. Mixed languages, handwriting, cropped seals, or special instructions route to Get a Quote with Bulgarian selected.

Court decisions, court certificates, adoption decrees, and marital-status certificates are different records and retain their exact titles and authorities.

Divorce proof may be a regional-court Решение (Reshenie). Preserve the court, case or entry number, parties, dates, operative text, seals, signatures, true-copy notation, page sequence, and attachments without interpreting legal effect. An archived decision may instead have a court certificate naming the entry number, date, and parties. It is not the full judgment. See divorce decree translation.

Current reciprocity guidance describes adoption certificates as unavailable and points to an adoption court decree. Corpus translates the supplied decree without giving advice or procuring records. A marital-status certificate, Удостоверение за семейно положение, съпруг и деца, can list status, spouse, and children; no relationship or eligibility is inferred.

Bulgarian Cyrillic is rendered consistently, while source-supported passport spelling can guide the same person’s English name.

OCR and human review must distinguish lookalikes such as В/B, Н/H, Р/P, С/C, У/Y, Х/X, И/N, З/3, О/0, І/I, and Л/П. Letters including ъ, ь, щ, ж, ц, ч, ш, ю, and я also require direct review when a scan is faint or damaged. Unreadable characters are marked [ILLEGIBLE] rather than reconstructed.

Bulgarian names commonly contain a forename, patronymic, and family name. Keep gendered endings such as -ov/-ova, -ev/-eva, and -ovski/-ovska, plus hyphenated married surnames. No romanization is universal. A passport can support spelling consistency but cannot override dates, numbers, relationships, record type, EGN, or another person’s name. Keep event, registration, issue, judgment, and certification dates separate.

Identity cards, court certificates, and socialist-era records need field-by-field review because printed scripts, authorities, security fields, and layouts differ.

The current Bulgarian identity-card title is ЛИЧНА КАРТА / IDENTITY CARD; send both sides. Existing Latin-script names are compared rather than retransliterated blindly. Corpus translates visible content but does not validate chips, machine-readable zones, QR codes, security features, identity, or validity.

U.S. reciprocity guidance says a police record is unavailable and identifies the regional-court Свидетелство за съдимост (Svidetelstvo za sudimost) as the substitute. Preserve the court, wording, issue date, validity text, signatures, seal, and QR code. Do not relabel it generically. See criminal record translation.

Older records may carry People’s Republic of Bulgaria authority names, typewriting, obsolete layouts, old seals, abbreviations, or handwritten notes. Preserve source-era institutions; never infer a date from paper or emblems alone.

Send straight, uncropped, well-lit color images of every page and side so tables, seals, identifiers, and handwritten entries remain readable.

Diplomas, supplements, transcripts, employment books, and tax or social-insurance records can contain institution names, specialties, grade tables, identifiers, signatures, seals, and handwritten entries. Corpus preserves titles and table relationships without converting grades, evaluating credentials, verifying employment, or validating status. Review diploma translation and academic transcript translation guidance.

Include covers, bindings, folds, edges, blank-but-stamped backs, photos, QR codes, machine-readable lines, serials, amendments, and attachments. Check scans for glare, blur, cut-off corners, faint round seals, Cyrillic/Latin lookalikes, ЕГН/EGN, civil-register or court numbers, typewriter overstrikes, and handwritten surname endings. A missing reverse, cropped seal, bound packet, damage, or uncertain page count routes to quote review.

Follow the receiving organization’s current instructions because translation does not replace the required record type, version, copy, or filing rule.

For USCIS, foreign-language evidence generally requires a complete English translation with certification that it is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent. Review the current form instructions and our USCIS translation services page. Corpus does not claim government approval or guarantee acceptance, a visa, status, or any case outcome.

For NVC or consular processing, current country reciprocity guidance controls expected records. Courts, DMVs, universities, evaluators, licensing boards, employers, and other recipients set their own rules. Ask the recipient when unclear. Corpus does not give legal advice or certify filing choices.

Eligible clear, complete, standard pages start at $19.99 per page, and standard 24-hour delivery applies only after scope confirmation.

We use consistent transliteration and can compare a source-supported passport or prior recipient-facing spelling for the same person. We preserve patronymics and surname endings and do not treat one romanization system as universal.

No. Current U.S. reciprocity guidance says Bulgarian police records are unavailable and identifies a regional-court certificate as the substitute. Recipient instructions control which supplied record is required.

Yes. Send a straight, uncropped, well-lit color image of every page and side, including faint seals, signatures, EGN or other identifiers, QR or machine-readable fields, and handwritten notes.
