Bulgarian in Ireland

Bulgarian Speakers in Ireland Are Growing

Census 2022 counted 4,175 people speaking Bulgarian at home, 44% more than the 2,895 of 2016 and more than double the 2011 figure. Fingal and Dublin City have the largest groups, 507 speakers each, followed by Cork, South Dublin, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Kildare. Growth this fast means many families are at the start of their Irish paperwork, so we most often translate civil certificates, school and university diplomas, and documents for a first marriage or job here.

Bulgarian Documents We Translate Most

Birth certificate

Удостоверение за раждане

The short удостоверение is common, but some Irish bodies prefer the fuller препис-извлечение от акт за раждане, which shows later entries. We translate either, with the ЕГН and both parents’ full three-part names.

Marriage certificate

Удостоверение за сключен граждански брак

Only civil marriages have legal effect in Bulgaria, so this is the certificate Irish bodies need. We translate the names each spouse took, the municipality and the civil registration number.

Divorce decision

Съдебно решение за развод

Bulgarian district courts issue divorce decisions, often by mutual consent. We translate the decision, the note that it has entered into force (влязло в сила) and any agreed arrangements for children.

Certificate of marital status

Удостоверение за семейно положение

Confirms whether you are single, married or divorced, and a separate certificate exists for marrying abroad. We translate either one for marriage notification with the Civil Registration Service.

Criminal record certificate

Свидетелство за съдимост

Issued by the criminal records bureau at a district court, and increasingly online. We translate the certificate, its validity note and the purpose it was issued for, which Bulgarian certificates state.

Secondary school diploma

Диплома за средно образование

We translate each subject, the grades from 2 to 6 and the results of the state matriculation exams (ДЗИ), adding a short note that 6 is excellent, so the CAO reads your marks correctly.

University diploma and supplement

Диплома за висше образование

Bulgarian universities issue the diploma with a European diploma supplement (Европейско дипломно приложение). We translate both, including degree titles such as бакалавър and магистър, for QQI and employers.

Identity card

Лична карта

We translate the Bulgarian identity card with its ЕГН, document number and permanent address, for Irish banks, landlords or public bodies that ask for your ID in English.

FAQs

Bulgarian Translation: Common Questions

How much does a Bulgarian translation cost?+
€29.95 per page, one page being 300 words in the Bulgarian original. A civil certificate from your municipality is usually one page. Bulgarian costs exactly the same as every other language on our list.
How quickly are Bulgarian documents translated?+
Within 24 hours for most orders of one to three pages, sent to you as a signed PDF. We give a firm date for longer files before you pay, and a 12-hour turnaround can be requested when a deadline is very close.
Do I need a legalised or sworn translation for Ireland?+
No. Ireland has no sworn translators, and Irish bodies such as ISD ask for a certified translation from a professional translator or translation company. The легализиран превод used in Bulgaria is a Bulgarian procedure. Our Certificate of Accuracy is signed, dated and stamped, with our contact details.
Can I use a Bulgarian multilingual standard form instead?+
Possibly. Bulgaria is an EU member, so under Regulation 2016/1191 your municipality can attach a multilingual standard form to a birth, marriage or death certificate. ISD accepts it for EU Treaty Rights and citizenship, and so can the Civil Registration Service, but universities and employers generally still want a full translation.
Can you translate Irish documents into Bulgarian?+
Yes, for example an Irish birth certificate to register your child with a Bulgarian municipality. Bulgarian authorities often require a legalised translation made by an agency contracted with Bulgaria’s foreign ministry, so check with the office or the Bulgarian Embassy in Dublin first.
How will my Bulgarian name be written in English?+
We use Bulgaria’s official transliteration, the same system as your passport: Щ is sht, Ъ is a and Ж is zh, so Христо Стоянов becomes Hristo Stoyanov. Your father’s name (презиме) is shown as a middle name, matching Irish forms.
My grades use the Bulgarian 2 to 6 scale. Will an Irish college understand them?+
We translate the grades exactly, including the words such as отличен (excellent) and много добър (very good), and add a brief translator’s note that 6 is the highest mark and 3 the lowest pass. Grade conversion itself is done by the CAO or college.
