UP-2 and UP-3 prove different Bulgarian social-insurance facts
UP-2 records the insurable income on which Bulgarian social-insurance contributions were paid or due, while UP-3 certifies insurance service. The Employment Agency issues these records for former employees where it was the relevant insurer and holds the necessary payroll or personnel records. They are not certificates of unemployment registration and do not merely confirm receipt of unemployment benefits.
The translation may be used by a foreign pension, social-security, tax or labour authority, an employer, a court or another official recipient. The target-language title explains the Bulgarian form without presenting it as an identical foreign instrument where no exact equivalent exists.
Income, service, periods, position and working time in an official record
UP-2 requires close control of the person and insurer, covered period, position, insurable or accrued income, currency and monthly amounts in its tables. UP-3 focuses on start and end dates, position, statutory and actual working time, length of insurance service, labour category and any relevant overtime.
Certificate number and date, legal basis, explanatory notes, corrections, signatures, signatory capacities and the Employment Agency seal remain visible in the translation. Schedules and continued tables are linked to the correct form, period and page.
The translation follows the form and evidential function of each certificate
The file is identified as UP-2, UP-3 or a set containing both forms before terminology is fixed. Personal names are aligned with identity records or an established target-language spelling, while periods, months, hours, figures and totals are checked between the heading and the tables.
The Bulgarian abbreviation “UP” can be retained with an explanation because it identifies a national social-insurance form. Independent revision checks digits, columns, footnotes, seals and consistent use of income, insurance service, employment relationship and insurer terminology.
Certified translation, apostille and legalisation depend on the recipient
Certification of the translation concerns responsibility for the translated text and its formal presentation. An apostille or consular legalisation authenticates an eligible underlying official document and is not an automatic part of every translation. The issuing state, destination, international route and recipient’s rules determine the required chain.
One recipient may accept a certified translation attached to the original or an official copy, while another may require prior signature authentication, an apostille or a particular connection between source and translation. Establishing the sequence before final production avoids duplicate or unusable certifications.
Price for Employment Agency UP-2 and UP-3 Certificate Translation
Pricing reflects the language pair, standard-page count, density of tables, number of periods and figures, legibility, handwritten corrections, seals and annexes. A long UP-2 with monthly income rows differs from a short UP-3, and a combined file is assessed by its actual contents.
Translation, independent revision, certified copies, notarial work, apostille or legalisation, courier and international delivery remain separate service components. The quotation therefore follows the record and its official use rather than only the label UP-2 or UP-3.
Turnaround based on language, legibility, tables, certification and purpose
Translation time depends on language, page count, tables, periods, numerical checks, scan quality and the required revision. Monthly income rows and insurance-service calculations receive a separate review so that every value remains attached to the correct year, position and column.
The translation schedule is separate from issuance by the Employment Agency, administrative authentication, apostille, consular processing and delivery. When both forms are submitted together, terminology and personal data are controlled as one coordinated set.

Prices are for one translation page of 1,800 characters including spaces, excluding VAT.
The listed prices are for translation only. Certification, apostille, legalization, state fees and other additional procedures are not included and are determined separately according to the document and requirements.
Remote assessment of the complete record and visible authentications
A legible PDF or complete photographs of every page establish the form, language, table count, signatures, seals and visible certifications. Assessment can be completed remotely without publicly exposing the personal and social-insurance data contained in the record.
Destination country and institution, target language, deadline, number of certified copies and delivery method define the specific service. A physical original is included only where the selected authentication procedure or the recipient’s rules require it.
ISO 17100 control of periods, figures, names and social-insurance terms
La Fit Trans applies an ISO 17100 certified process with a qualified translator, independent reviser and final quality control. Names, identifiers, positions, periods, hours, labour categories, amounts, currency, signatures and seals are tracked throughout the record.
Tables are reproduced so that each value remains connected to the correct month, year and column. For a set containing UP-2, UP-3, an employment or civil-service book and a supporting certificate, one terminology base is used without merging the distinct documents.
An Employment Agency certificate is not an NSSI archive certificate
An Employment Agency UP-2 confirms insurable income for a period in which the Agency was the insurer; UP-3 confirms the corresponding insurance service. An unemployment-office registration certificate, a benefits statement and a certificate of benefits received each serve a different purpose.
The Bulgarian National Social Security Institute may issue records from payroll files accepted from terminated insurers without a legal successor or from other archive material. Employment books, civil-service books and insurance-register extracts are also separate sources and are translated according to their own contents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UP-2 and UP-3?
UP-2 certifies insurable income, while UP-3 certifies insurance service. In a combined file, each form retains its separate purpose and tables.
For whom does the Employment Agency issue UP-2 and UP-3?
It issues them for former employees where the Agency was the insurer and holds the records required to establish the income or service period.
Does an Employment Agency certificate replace an NSSI record?
Not automatically. The issuer and record source differ, and the required document depends on the period, insurer and recipient’s instructions.
Does a UP-2 or UP-3 translation always need an apostille?
No. The destination, form of the source and recipient’s rules determine whether a certified translation alone or further authentication is required.
Can UP-2 and UP-3 be translated as one set?
Yes. A shared terminology base keeps names, positions and periods consistent while clearly separating UP-2 income from UP-3 insurance service.
A quotation based on the UP form, language, recipient and required presentation
The La Fit Trans quotation reflects whether the file is UP-2, UP-3 or a combined set, the language, page and table-row count, receiving institution, country, certification route, deadline, copies and delivery. The result is a professionally presented translation aligned with the exact certificate and its official use.
