Official Translations by a Sworn Translator in Bulgaria

To become a Sworn translator in Bulgaria, one must first obtain a degree in linguistics, translation, or a related field, focusing on the languages they wish to translate. After completing their education, they must pass certification exams that assess their proficiency and translation skills. These exams are overseen by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

Once certified, translators must register with the MFA. This registration authorises them to provide sworn Bulgarian translations that are legally recognised by Bulgarian authorities. Practical experience in translation is also beneficial, and some positions may require a certain number of years of experience before a translator can become fully certified. Continuous professional development is encouraged to ensure translators stay updated with the latest translation standards and practices.

When Will Sworn Translation be Required in Bulgaria

There are numerous situations when a sworn translation done by a Bulgarian translator will be necessary to fulfil official requirements. Some common examples include:

  1. Immigration applications: When applying for a visa or permanent residency, you must provide sworn translations of key documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and police clearance certificates.
     

  2. Academic applications: When applying to a Bulgarian university or college, you may need to submit sworn translations of your transcripts, diplomas, and other relevant academic documents.
     

  3. Legal matters: In court proceedings and other legal matters, sworn translations of documents like contracts, affidavits, and witness statements are often required to ensure their validity and credibility.
     

  4. Employment: If you're seeking employment in Bulgaria, you may need to provide sworn translations of your employment history, references, and qualifications to prospective employers.
     

  5. Medical and insurance purposes: In cases where you need to provide medical records or insurance documents, sworn translations may be necessary to ensure the information is accurate and easily understood by all parties involved.

The Format of a Sworn Translation in Bulgaria

The process of obtaining a sworn Bulgarian translation begins with the submission of documents to the translator, either online or in person. These documents can range from legal contracts and court judgments to academic transcripts and personal certificates.

The documents are then translated by a sworn translator who is certified and registered with the MFA. These translators ensure the translations are accurate and meet legal requirements. The sworn translation must include a declaration from the translator confirming the accuracy of the translation, along with the translator's signature and official stamp. The translation is attached to a copy of the original document.

After the translation is complete, it must be notarised. This step is mandatory for all sworn translations in Bulgaria and serves to further authenticate the document for official use. Notarisation confirms that the translation is a true and accurate representation of the original document. In some cases, documents may also need an apostille, especially for international use. 

The final step involves submitting the translated documents to the relevant Bulgarian authorities. These entities will only accept translations that meet the prescribed standards and are performed by registered sworn translators.
