Certified Bulgarian apostille translation legalisation services in the UK

Our one-stop solution covers everything you need for Bulgarian documents requiring international validity. First, a specialist linguist translates the document between Bulgarian and English, ensuring terminology and formatting meet official standards. Next, we certify and, when required, notarise the translation. Finally, we obtain the apostille so the paperwork is legally recognised abroad.

In the UK, apostilles are issued by the FCDO Legalisation Office. For documents issued in Bulgaria, we coordinate local legalisation paths where appropriate, or advise on using Bulgarian apostilles already obtained. This joined-up approach is ideal when moving from one country to another for work, study, marriage, court proceedings, or corporate transactions.

We work with personal and corporate documents: birth, marriage, and a death certificate; police clearances; degrees and transcripts; powers of attorney; company incorporation papers; and contracts. Each file is handled securely, with GDPR-compliant processes, encryption, and restricted access to protect sensitive information.

Pricing is transparent: certified translations from £29.90 per page, standard translation from £0.05 per word; notarisation and apostille certification are quoted based on the issuing country, document type, postage, and any expedited options. With a 98% customer return rate, you can expect attentive service and clear updates at every stage.

Step 1: Translation. A native-level Bulgarian specialist translates and formats the document in line with official requirements. We check names, stamps, seals, and layout to mirror the source as closely as possible, adding a signed translator’s certificate where needed. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for standard lengths.

Step 2: Notarisation. If the receiving authority requires it, we arrange a notary public to notarise the translation. This step confirms the translator’s declaration and identity. Notarisation is usually completed the same working day once the translation is finalised.

Step 3: Apostille. We submit documents to the FCDO Legalisation Office for apostille certification. Timeframes vary by volume and service level; standard processing is often 1–3 weeks. We can advise on expedited routes and return options, including tracked delivery and secure international postage.

We support two scenarios: (a) translating a document before obtaining a UK apostille on the notarial certificate, and (b) translating an already apostilled document so the content of the original is understood by the receiving authority. Our project managers help you choose the correct route for the country of presentation.

Kings of Translation is trusted worldwide, with certified translations accepted by British authorities, the Home Office, and across Hague Convention countries.
