The certificate proves an education level, not merely completion of one grade
A Bulgarian Certificate of Basic Education proves an acquired education level and the right to continue to the next level of education or to vocational qualification training. Under the current framework basic education is acquired after successful completion of Grade 7, while older certificates issued under previous rules may relate to a different final grade and form generation.
A certificate of completion of a grade records one school year, whereas the Certificate of Basic Education proves a completed education level. A secondary-school diploma, certificate of completed primary stage or first secondary stage and academic transcript have different functions and are not replaced by this translation.
School, student, school year, grades, assessment and registration particulars
A current or archival form may state the school and locality, the student’s full name and personal identifier, school year, mode of study, series, printed and registration numbers, issue date and form code. Old and new forms are not identical, so the translation follows the actual record rather than a presumed template.
Subjects and annual grades, overall average where applicable, national external assessment results, CEFR foreign-language level and NQF/EQF levels may appear on the front, reverse or a supplement. The headteacher, authorised signatory, signatures, official seal, barcode, corrections, duplicate notes and later entries remain linked to the correct page.
Subjects, grades and levels remain traceable to the Bulgarian form
Names are checked against a passport or another supplied identity record. The school name, mode of study, subjects, elective or extended studies and official abbreviations are rendered consistently without replacing the Bulgarian education structure with an assumed foreign equivalent.
Grades in words and figures, national-assessment points and levels, language levels, series, number, registration date, signatures, seal and barcode pass independent revision and final control. Illegible or crossed-out areas are described according to the visible source; missing results are never supplied by inference.
Certified translation, apostille and recognition are separate procedures
A certified translation authenticates the translation under the applicable procedure. An apostille certifies the signature, capacity of the signatory and seal on the appropriate public document, while recognition determines the educational value assigned by a foreign institution. These functions are not interchangeable.
NACID provides the apostille service for Bulgarian documents issued within the school-education system when an apostille is applicable and requested. Destination, form and year, electronic verification, any international agreement and the requirement of a school, employer or authority determine whether an apostille, another certification or translation alone is required.
Price for Translation of a Certificate of Basic Education
Price depends on language, page count, form, subjects and grades, national assessment, supplements, seals and required layout. A one-sided certificate without a supplement differs from an older double-sided form, duplicate or set containing separate certificates for completed grades.
Translation, extra certified copies, apostille, notarial work, courier service and delivery are itemised separately. The amount therefore follows the actual record and the procedure genuinely required by the recipient.
Turnaround based on form, grades, supplements and required certifications
Turnaround depends on language, legibility, number of subjects and grades, old or current form, supplements, handwritten corrections and the need for terminology research. A clear current certificate differs from an archival duplicate bearing a faded seal and subjects from an older curriculum.
Translation time is separate from issue of a duplicate by the school or archive, apostille, additional certification, recognition and delivery. The final date reflects the complete available set and recipient procedure.

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 front, reverse, barcode and supplements
A complete colour PDF or clear images of the front, reverse and every supplement reveal the school, name, school year, series, number, subjects, grades, assessment results, signatures, seal and barcode. A cropped edge, missing reverse or hidden supplement can alter scope and certification route.
Language, destination, recipient, purpose, deadline, number of certified copies and delivery method define the service. Personal and educational data are handled solely for fulfilment of the order.
ISO 17100 process for names, school subjects, grades and particulars
La Fit Trans applies an ISO 17100-certified process with a qualified translator, independent reviser and final control. Names, school, subjects, grades, national assessment, NQF/EQF, series, number, signatures and seal are cross-checked throughout the set.
Terminology follows the actual form and target language without turning the certificate into a foreign diploma or equivalence decision. Layout preserves the relationship between fields, tables and their corresponding translation.
Completed grade, primary stage, secondary education and separate records
A certificate of completion of a grade covers a particular school year, while this certificate proves completion of the basic education level. Primary-stage and first-secondary-stage certificates and the secondary-school diploma mark different stages and levels.
An academic transcript, curriculum, student reference, transfer record, vocational qualification certificate and recognition decision have their own issuers and functions. A combined translation can keep names and terminology consistent without merging the records.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Certificate of Basic Education prove?
It proves completion of the basic education level and the right to continue to the next education level or to vocational qualification training.
Is it different from a certificate of completion of a grade?
Yes. The latter records one grade and school year, while the Certificate of Basic Education proves a completed education level.
Are the reverse, grades and supplements translated?
Yes when they form part of the record. Subjects, grades, assessment, levels, signatures, seals and supplements remain tied to the correct page.
Is an apostille always required?
No. It depends on the destination, form and recipient; an apostille, another certification or only a certified translation may apply.
Does translation automatically recognise the education level abroad?
No. Translation renders the record, while recognition or equivalence is decided separately by the competent receiving institution after reviewing the full set.
