Getting Bulgarian Translation Right

Certified personal documents are priced per page, from $18.75 (ID, driver's license, passport) to $28.90 (academic transcript). Historic handwritten records are quoted individually.

Native Bulgarian translators. Your project goes to a native speaker of Bulgarian, matched to your subject — legal, medical, technical, or personal documents.

Bulgarian Cyrillic, not Russian. Bulgarian has its own alphabet and grammar — Щ is "sht," Ъ is a vowel, and the definite article is added to the end of words. Our translators work in Bulgarian, not a neighboring language.

Names that match your passport. We transliterate names with Bulgaria's official romanization system, used in Bulgarian passports (Щерев → Shterev, Цветанка → Tsvetanka). If your US documents use another spelling, we'll match it.

Every number that matters. The EGN (Uniform Civil Number), act and certificate numbers, and dates are carried over exactly.

Any format, including scans and photos. For certified documents, a clear scan or phone photo is enough. We translate every stamp, seal, and handwritten note.

Certified Bulgarian to English Translation for USCIS

Every Bulgarian-language document filed with USCIS needs a complete English translation and a signed translator certification (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required.

Multi-page documents receive lower per-page rates. Bulgaria is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention — if your document carries an apostille, we translate it too.

Every certified translation includes: complete translation of text, stamps, and annotations; the EGN and document numbers reproduced exactly; names transliterated to match your passport; the signed Translation Accuracy Certificate; 24-hour delivery for most 1–2 page documents; and the USCIS acceptance guarantee.

English to Bulgarian Translation for Use in Bulgaria

Bulgarians abroad and their families often need their records accepted in Bulgaria — to register a birth or marriage that took place abroad, to apply for Bulgarian citizenship, including on the basis of Bulgarian origin, to inherit or buy property, or to move to Bulgaria. Companies need corporate documents, powers of attorney, and contracts translated for Bulgarian registries, courts, and notaries.

We translate birth, marriage, divorce, death, and naturalization certificates, powers of attorney, court orders, and company documents into Bulgarian.

Before you order: for official use in Bulgaria, translations are generally made by a sworn translator (заклет преводач) working with an agency authorized by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and may need to be legalized. The original usually needs an apostille. Requirements differ between municipalities, the Ministry of Justice, notaries, and courts — confirm with the office handling your case, and we'll prepare the translation to fit.

Bulgarian Genealogy and Historic Records

Bulgarian family records span several languages and spellings. Depending on the period and region, you may find:

• Bulgarian in the pre-1945 spelling — with letters later dropped (ѣ, ѫ, word-final ъ)
• Church Slavonic — in older Orthodox parish books
• Greek — in church records kept under the Patriarchate of Constantinople before the Bulgarian Exarchate (1870)
• Ottoman Turkish — in documents from before 1878
• Latin — in Catholic registers
• Ladino and Hebrew — in Sephardic Jewish community records

Bulgaria used the Julian calendar until 1916, so older dates differ from the Gregorian calendar by 12–13 days. We note both dates.

We translate births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, emigration records, and letters — including handwritten entries. Send a clear scan and we'll quote based on length and legibility.
