Confirm where the Bulgarian translation will be submitted
Requirements for a Bulgarian translation used in South Africa may differ from those applied by an authority, embassy, university, court or another institution in Bulgaria or elsewhere.
A translation prepared according to South African requirements should not automatically be assumed to satisfy every Bulgarian or European authority.
Translation, apostille, authentication, notarisation and legalisation are separate processes.
Tell us where the document will be submitted and send us any instructions provided by the receiving authority.
Already Have the Bulgarian Document?
Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the language, document and certification requirements and provide a quotation.
Bulgarian Cyrillic, Names & Transliteration
Bulgarian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Personal names, places and institutional names may also appear in Latin letters on passports and international records.
Bulgarian Names in English
A Bulgarian name written in Cyrillic can sometimes be represented in Latin letters in more than one way.
Where a passport or recognised identity document already provides an official Latin-letter spelling, supplying it helps maintain consistency throughout the translation.
Bulgarian Cyrillic Matters
Bulgarian uses a 30-letter Cyrillic alphabet, including letters such as Ъ, Щ, Ю and Я.
Names, municipalities, government authorities and institutional titles should be read and reproduced according to the Bulgarian source rather than assumed from another Cyrillic language.
Bulgarian Is a Distinct Cyrillic Language
Bulgarian shares Cyrillic writing and some linguistic features with other Slavic languages, but Bulgarian documents should be identified and translated as Bulgarian.
Bulgarian
Bulgarian is a South Slavic language with its own grammar, vocabulary, spelling and official terminology.
Macedonian
Macedonian is closely related to Bulgarian but is a separate standard language with its own orthography and official usage.
Russian
Russian also uses Cyrillic but is a different language. A Russian-language document should not automatically be treated as Bulgarian.
Bulgarian Documents for South African, EU & International Use
Bulgarian is the official language of Bulgaria and an official language of the European Union. Bulgarian documents may be required for official use in South Africa or other international jurisdictions.
Bulgarian-Issued Documents
Civil, criminal-record, academic, legal and corporate documents may use terminology specific to the Bulgarian authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete document, including stamps, signatures, annotations and reverse pages where applicable.
Receiving Authority Matters
A Bulgarian document translated for use in South Africa may have different certification requirements from the same document being submitted to an institution in Bulgaria or elsewhere in the EU.
The current instructions of the receiving authority should therefore be confirmed before formal submission.
