Bulgarian documents arrive in Cyrillic, with a three-part name, a ten-digit ЕГН and grades on a scale that runs to 6. Our native Bulgarian translators turn удостоверения, дипломи and court decisions into clear English for Irish citizenship, marriage notification, the CAO and employers, following Bulgaria’s official transliteration rules for every name. A signed Certificate of Accuracy, our stamp and a reference number come with each order. €29.95 per page, typically delivered in 24 hours.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
