Why Apostille Documents for Bulgaria
If you need to use a UK document in Bulgaria for residency, study, work, or to register a UK-owned company branch, it will need an Apostille certificate. ACRO police certificates, birth certificates, academic documents, GCSEs and Certificates of Good Standing are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Bulgarian use.
Bulgaria is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 2001. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Bulgarian Embassy is needed for the document to be accepted by Bulgarian authorities.
