Sworn Marriage Certificate Translation into Bulgarian

Registering the marriage is what updates a Bulgarian spouse's civil status and, if the surname changed, lets it carry through to Bulgarian identity documents. Until then, Bulgaria's records still show the old status, which can cause confusion later at a notary or a bank. Ask the municipality or consulate which documents they need alongside the certificate.

Spouses of Bulgarian or other EU citizens apply for residence through the Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Interior, and the marriage certificate is the central document in that file.

Bulgarian law recognises marriage between a man and a woman, so the legal effect of a civil partnership or same-sex marriage certificate in Bulgaria can be limited. EU free-movement rules may still require it to be recognised for residence purposes. We translate the document faithfully; what the authority does with it is up to them, so check with them first.

Names are transcribed into Cyrillic with the original Latin spelling kept alongside. If the bride's or groom's name already appears in Cyrillic on a Bulgarian document, tell us and we'll use the same spelling. Every document includes 2 free revisions. Start on the online quote form.
