What a certificate of completion of a school grade proves
A certificate of completion of a school grade is an official school record proving a particular successfully completed grade or the learning results entered for a defined study period. Its precise function depends on the form, issue date and applicable education rules. It must not automatically be presented as a diploma or as proof of a completed educational degree.
The translation may support school transfer, continuation of studies, recognition of a period or grade, an education programme application or submission to an authority. La Fit Trans translates the record as issued, without changing the rights it certifies or adding an educational level that does not appear in the source.
Grade, school year, subjects, results and school particulars
Typical particulars include the full school name and location, student data, school year, completed grade, mode of study, subjects, annual or final marks, results and official notes. The registration number, issue date, head teacher’s signature, seal, security or electronic features and all wording within tables are translated as well.
An attachment, subject statement, transfer certificate or another accompanying record remains a separate document with its own heading. Where the file contains several pages, numbering, cross-references and sequence are preserved so that each subject and result stays clearly linked to the relevant student and grade.
Accurate translation of educational terminology and the grading system
Educational terminology is matched to the function of the Bulgarian record rather than mechanically replaced with the name of a foreign diploma. Subject names, school type, educational stage, profile, vocational component and mode of study are rendered consistently. Marks remain in the source grading scale unless the recipient separately requests an explanation.
The translator and independent reviser check names against an identity document and compare grades, school years, decimal marks, abbreviations, numbers and notes line by line. Unclear text is not completed by assumption. A duplicate, electronically issued record or older form is represented with its actual format and visible authentication details.
Certified translation, NACID apostille or a recipient-specific route
Certification of the translation concerns authorship and presentation of the translated text. An apostille concerns the origin of the Bulgarian school record and, for documents issued within the school education system, is provided by NACID when the destination and recipient require that route. A treaty or recipient rules may allow a different procedure without an apostille.
For a foreign certificate used in Bulgaria, authentication of the original follows its country of origin, while recognition of the completed period, grade or stage is a separate administrative procedure. Translation, apostille and the recognition decision perform different functions and are included in the quotation only when relevant to the actual record.
Price based on language, tables, attachments and page count
The translation price reflects the language pair, number of pages, density of tables, number of subjects, legibility and attachments. A short form without marks does not require the same work as a multi-page certificate containing study results, notes, seals and parallel-language columns.
Language work is calculated separately from certified copies, apostille, notarial action, courier delivery or another commissioned administrative step. A school or state fee for issuing the original is not a translation charge. The quotation states the included volume and final format clearly.
Timing for translation, independent revision and commissioned formalities
The schedule includes table preparation, translation, independent revision and final checking. A concise legible record can be processed more quickly, while numerous subjects, an unclear seal, handwritten notes, inconsistent names or a missing page require extra time for reliable control.
Issue of a duplicate by the school, a NACID apostille, authentication abroad and a recognition procedure follow their own timelines. The assignment schedule separates language work from external administrative action and identifies any coordination entrusted to La Fit Trans.

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.
Preliminary assessment from the complete legible school record
A legible PDF or images of every page allow preliminary assessment of the language, tables, number of subjects, signatures, seals, attachments and requested authentication route. Non-essential personal data may be masked for the initial quotation if the heading, structure, particulars and actual volume remain visible.
For final performance, an original, official duplicate, certified copy and electronically verifiable record may have different value to the recipient. Any need for a physical copy follows from the chosen certification and school or authority rules, not from whether the assessment started online.
ISO 17100 control of grade, subjects, marks, names and numbers
The ISO 17100 workflow separates translation from independent revision. Control for a grade-completion certificate covers the exact document name, student, school, grade, school year, mode of study, subjects, marks, numbers, dates, signatures and seals.
One coordinated service may include certified translation, an applicable apostille, additional copies and delivery. The commercial quotation remains practical and clear without promising automatic conversion of grades or recognition of a class; those decisions belong to the competent education institution.
Different from a diploma, school-leaving certificate, transcript and recognised grade
A diploma proves a completed educational degree and has a different legal and academic scope. A certificate of basic education, a certificate of completion of a primary or upper-secondary stage and a certificate of completion of a grade are separate forms. A transcript or attachment usually provides a more detailed history of subjects, marks and teaching hours.
A certificate recognising a grade is issued after administrative assessment of foreign study and is not the same as the translated foreign school record. Accurate translation preserves the boundary between the source certificate, its attachments and the receiving institution’s later decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a certificate of completion of a school grade prove?
It proves a particular completed grade or the results recorded for a defined period of study under the form and education rules used for its issue.
Is it the same record as an education diploma?
No. A diploma proves a completed educational degree, while a grade certificate has a narrower scope and must not be translated as a diploma.
Are all subjects and marks translated?
Yes. Subjects, marks, mode of study, school year, notes and tables are translated in the sequence of the issued record.
Is an apostille always required?
No. A NACID apostille, another authentication route or an exemption may apply according to the country and specific recipient.
Can the price be assessed from an electronic copy?
Yes, when every page, table, subject, signature, seal and attachment is legible. Any need for the original is determined separately.
Certified translation for a school or competent education authority
The service scope reflects the issued form, language, recipient, page count, tables, required certification and deadline. The completed translation presents the record as evidence of a particular completed grade and keeps the student, school, school year and recorded results reliably connected.
