A police certificate translation into Bulgarian is a sworn translation of the certificate issued by ACRO Criminal Records Office (or Disclosure Scotland), signed by a sworn translator (заклет преводач) with a certificate of accuracy in Bulgarian. Bulgarian consulates and the Migration Directorate commonly ask for a criminal record certificate from your country of residence for long-stay visas and residence permits.
We translate the certificate and its apostille at £40.00 per page, delivered within 2 working days. Residence files usually also include bank statements showing your means.
Bulgaria
Often, yes. Long-stay (type D) visas, residence permits and nationality applications commonly require a criminal record certificate from your country of residence, apostilled and translated into Bulgarian. Check the current list for your application.
In the UK, that certificate is the ACRO police certificate (or a basic disclosure from Disclosure Scotland). Its Bulgarian counterpart is the свидетелство за съдимост, which is the word you'll see on Bulgarian checklists. Bulgarian offices often want a recently issued certificate, so apply to ACRO close to your submission date rather than months ahead.
Most commonly for long-stay visas, long-term and permanent residence permits, Bulgarian nationality applications and some work permits.
Requirements differ by residence category, and the list can change, so always use the current one from the consulate or the Migration Directorate.
£40.00 per page for a digital PDF, charged in pounds sterling, delivered within 2 working days. An ACRO certificate is usually one to two pages, plus the apostille.
Pages are counted across the certificate and its apostille, and the quote form shows the total before you pay. Every document includes 2 free revisions. The FCDO issues the apostille; get it first so it can be translated with the certificate. Start on the online quote form. 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.
