A sworn passport and ID translation into Bulgarian is a Bulgarian-language version of an identity document, signed by a sworn translator (заклет преводач). Bulgarian notaries, municipalities and other offices often want one when a foreign passport is the main proof of who you are: buying property, signing a power of attorney or registering a change of name.
We translate passport pages, ID cards and deed polls at £40.00 per page, delivered within 2 working days. If your name changed, the birth certificate translation or deed poll usually goes in the same file.
Bulgaria
Most often for a notarial deed in Bulgaria (buying property, a power of attorney, inheritance), and sometimes for municipal or residence procedures. Many offices simply look at the passport itself, so check before ordering.
Bulgarian notaries work in Bulgarian and need to be sure who is signing. A foreign passport is generally fine for identification, but the notarial deed itself often needs your details in Cyrillic, and some notaries ask for a sworn translation of the passport's data page for the file. The rule varies between offices, which is the one thing every Bulgarian checklist has in common.
UK and other passports (data page and any endorsement pages), national ID cards, residence cards, deed polls and change-of-name documents.
Upload only the pages you've been asked for; there's no need to translate blank visa pages.
Your name is transcribed into Cyrillic, and the spelling in your passport is kept alongside so the two can be matched. If a Bulgarian document already spells your name in Cyrillic, we follow it.
Consistency matters more than elegance here. If one notary writes you as "Джонсън" and another as "Джонсон", a future registrar may wonder whether you're one person or two. Tell us about any existing Bulgarian spelling when you upload.

Every document includes 2 free revisions. Upload clear scans on the online quote form to see the total before paying. Want it on paper too? Tick the signed paper copy at checkout: the translator prints it, signs it in ink and posts it by Royal Mail the next working day after your PDF, for £3.00 to a UK address or £8.00 anywhere else (one fee per order). Delivery times are Royal Mail's, not guaranteed.
