Bulgarian Translation Services

Certified Bulgarian to English translation for USCIS filings, US court cases, university applications and credential evaluations. Records arrive from municipal civil-registry offices in Cyrillic, and act numbers, seals and handwritten annotations are carried into the English page as issued.

A certified Bulgarian to English translation at DHCTranslations begins at $54 for a single document, and that figure covers the signed translator certificate and the PDF; past the first 400 words the rate is $0.12 per word. The certificate travels with the translation rather than following it later, which is what a USCIS officer or a US court expects to read.

    Prepared for US filings

    What a certified Bulgarian translation comes with

    A Bulgarian order returns with a signed statement of accuracy naming the translator, the source language and the date, and the municipality that issued each record is identified on it as well.

    What the certification includes

    • Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
    • Cyrillic transliteration: Bulgaria has an official transliteration scheme and it is applied by default; where a passport, visa or earlier US filing already fixes a spelling, that form takes precedence and the Cyrillic is shown in brackets at first mention.
    • Act and personal numbers: the act number of the register entry and the ten-digit personal number are copied exactly, since an officer matches a certificate to a form, and to a tax record, by those figures alone.
    • Certified PDF: the certified file is emailed at no extra cost, which is what a US filing accepts. A printed set can be arranged if a receiving body insists on paper, and is quoted per order.

    Prices are per document and start at $54 — see what a translation costs.

    Registry vocabulary

    The Bulgarian records US applicants send most

    Bulgarian certificates are printed by the municipality that holds the register, and what is handed over at the counter is usually an extract rather than the original act. The table sets the Bulgarian wording against the English name and against what we do with each page.

    An older file often holds the original act itself, typed on municipal paper, while a recent reissue arrives on the multilingual EU form; both are translated as they stand. The criminal record comes from a different office than the civil certificates, which is why the two are quoted and delivered as separate documents.

    Frequently asked questions

    DHCTranslations produces certified English versions of Bulgarian records at our US offices. Send a flat scan of every page, stamps and reverse included, and say which agency receives the file, and a written price comes back before any work starts.

    $54 covers a single document, including the signed certificate and the PDF by email. A file longer than 400 words runs at $0.12 per word into English, and work from English into Bulgarian is $0.14 per word. A family set is priced on the words in all of it.

    A one-page certificate confirmed with cleared payment before 4pm ET on a weekday is normally emailed the same day. A set of municipal extracts follows within one business day, and a court file or a long medical report is given a firm date on the quote.

    Yes. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) asks for a complete English translation with a signed statement of the translator's competence, a date and contact details, and every Bulgarian order we issue carries that statement together with a copy of the original page.

    The official Bulgarian transliteration scheme is the default, which settles letters other systems render differently. Where a passport, visa or earlier filing already fixes a spelling, that form is used instead, and the Cyrillic appears in brackets the first time the name occurs.

    It is the ten-digit national number held by Bulgarian citizens, and its first six digits encode the date of birth. It is copied exactly as printed and then compared with the birth date on the certificate, since officers match a person across filings by that number.

    Yes, and the criminal record certificate is one of the most frequent Bulgarian orders. It states whether a conviction is recorded and carries its own validity window; both are translated as printed, leaving the receiving office to apply its currency rule rather than one we invent.

    Bulgaria issues birth, marriage and death certificates on the multilingual EU standard form, which carries numbered headings instead of prose. That layout is translated as it stands, while an older municipal certificate on the same facts keeps its own wording; the two are never blended.

    Yes. Communist-era certificates use office names, headers and typefaces that have since disappeared, and sometimes carry handwritten corrections in the margin. The wording is translated as found, and each correction is described in brackets where it appears on the page.

    No. Legible scans or photographs of all pages are enough to begin, and the certified PDF comes back by email. Where a court, university or agency insists on paper, printed sets are quoted on request and posted by USPS tracked, with postage stated before payment.

    Both want the diploma and its supplement, with every subject, credit and mark in English and the Bulgarian six-point scale explained in a translator's note. A supplement sent alone is usually held up, so the pair is quoted together and kept in the order the university issued them.

    Yes, at $0.14 per word. Certified Bulgarian versions of US diplomas, court orders and powers of attorney are prepared with the same translator statement, and names, dates and case numbers stay in the order the US original uses.

    Yes. Judgments and orders are laid out in the order the Bulgarian court used, with the case number, the parties and the date the decision took effect left where the original puts them, so an English reader can follow the page line by line.
