Criminal record certificate, without the extra steps
People usually need a criminal record certificate translated for a visa or work permit, an adoption, or a residence application. It's normally a single page, so we translate it quickly, at a fixed price.
Where the certificate comes from
The certificate itself comes from the Bulgarian courts or the Ministry of Justice, depending on how you applied for it. Our part starts once you have it: we translate the finished document, certified if it's going to be legalised.
What to send
Send a clear scan or photo of the whole page, stamp legible. Many institutions want a fairly recent certificate, so check what validity period they accept before you send it off for translation.
Price
Translating a criminal record certificate: €15 per document. If the institution wants it legalised: from €25 through the partner, plus the state fee at cost, shown as its own line. See also Prices.

Related questions
An employer in Germany wants my criminal record certificate with an apostille. Is that included?
The apostille is a separate service, added only when the institution asks for it. Between EU countries it's sometimes not needed at all, see EU Regulation 2016/1191. If it is, mention it when you order and we'll put it in the quote with a clear price breakdown.
Send the certificate over. The translation alone is usually ready in 1–2 working days.
