Bulgarian Translation of Diplomas, Transcripts and Qualifications for NACID and Admission

NACID: recognition of Georgian degrees in Bulgaria

A Georgian university degree used in Bulgaria for employment, for regulated professions or for postgraduate study goes through признаване at the National Centre for Information and Documentation (NACID), which issues an удостоверение за признаване stating the level, field and professional qualification; recognition for continuing study is handled by the Bulgarian university itself. The application, online or in person, requires the apostilled diploma and академична справка (transcript) with legalized Bulgarian translations, proof of the program's length and form, and for some fields the curriculum; NACID verifies the diploma with the issuing Georgian university, which can take weeks. We translate the Georgian packet in the format NACID expects, using the terminology Bulgarian faculties use for the same subjects, and arrange Bulgarian certification for the submission. Regulated professions - doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, architects, engineers, teachers - have a separate признаване на професионална квалификация through the competent ministry or chamber, with translated proof of practice.

Bulgarian medical universities and technical institutes

The medical universities of Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna and Pleven and the technical and economic universities admit Georgian students to Bulgarian- and English-language programs, and for foreign students the Ministry of Education issues the удостоверение за прием that precedes the visa D. Applications require certified translations of the school leaving certificate with national exam results and, for medical programs, evidence of biology and chemistry grades, or the diploma and академична справка for graduate programs, plus a medical certificate and language certificates. Universities accept certified translations with our stamp for the application and require the apostilled bundle with legalized translation at enrollment; the student residence permit at the Migration Directorate requires the admission letter, proof of funds, health insurance and the Georgian conviction certificate translated. We translate the full Georgian packet in one business day.

Secondary education recognition and the single permit

A Georgian school leaving certificate used in Bulgaria for university admission, for vocational training or for jobs requiring secondary education is recognized by the регионално управление на образованието (regional education directorate), which requires the apostilled certificate with national exam results, a legalized translation and a list of subjects and hours. Georgians recruited under single permits for skilled positions need diplomas and vocational certificates translated for the Employment Agency and the employer, and Bulgarian employers in construction, logistics, hospitality and manufacturing send us candidates' documents as groups, which we process with consistent formatting, shared transliteration rules and a single invoice. Georgian nurses and caregivers recruited by Bulgarian hospitals and care homes need their diplomas, curricula and work records translated for the Ministry of Health's recognition procedure.

Bulgarian degrees for recognition and employment in Georgia

A Bulgarian degree used in Georgia - for a work permit, for a teaching, medical or engineering position, for admission to a Georgian master's or doctoral program, or for recognition at the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement - must be apostilled by the Ministry of Education and translated into Georgian and notarized in Tbilisi. We translate the диплома, the приложение към дипломата, the академична справка and, when recognition is sought, course descriptions. Bulgarian medical graduates should expect the recognition body to ask for the specialization certificate and Bulgarian Medical Association registration; engineers for chamber registration where relevant. Georgians who studied at Bulgarian medical universities and return are the largest group, and their clinical rotation records are translated alongside the diploma.

School certificates, student letters and language certificates

Bulgarian families in Tbilisi enroll children in international schools or Georgian public schools with удостоверения за завършен клас and свидетелства translated; Georgian families moving to Bulgaria need Georgian school records translated for the school and the regional education directorate, which places the child in the right grade. Students need уверения and student status letters in the other language for permits, banks and health insurance. Language certificates - Bulgarian proficiency certificates for citizenship and some jobs, translated into Georgian, and Georgian or English proficiency certificates translated into Bulgarian for universities - are handled the same day.

Motivation letters, recommendations, CVs and timing

Georgian applicants to Bulgarian programs ask us to translate or edit мотивационни писма and автобиографии to Bulgarian or Europass conventions, and to translate препоръки while preserving the signature block; doctoral candidates need thesis abstracts and publication lists translated, and researchers collaborating with Bulgarian institutions use our editors for articles. Native Bulgarian editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: NACID recognition takes two to three months including verification with the Georgian university, university applications for foreign students run in spring and summer with the Ministry's удостоверение за прием following, Bulgarian certification takes a few days, and the apostille on a Georgian diploma can take up to five business days. Start the apostille early, since the apostilled diploma is reusable, and ask for a digital certified translation first so you can upload it while the paper originals are in process.
