## Documents for public authorities, employment and business
The first review identifies the document type, issuing authority, language pair and intended recipient. This directs municipal, academic, employment and business records to the appropriate combination of translation, certification and administrative preparation.
Civil-status documents issued by Sofia district administrations retain the precise issuing authority and document title. For documents issued by mayors and municipal administrations, unified service 2972 assigns apostille competence to the relevant regional governor when the regime applies.
Civil-status certificates, multilingual extracts, address and inheritance certificates, municipal records, diplomas, employment documents and company materials are assessed according to the issuer and intended recipient. Translation and official authentication remain separate parts of the service.
Employment records, company extracts, contracts, technical specifications and related appendices require consistent terminology and matching names and identifiers throughout the set.
Sofia Municipality lists birth and marriage certificates, multilingual civil-status extracts, inheritance, family-status and address certificates, identity certificates for different names and records created abroad. The translation follows the exact title of the document presented.
Property and local-tax files may combine title deeds, sketches, land-description certificates, tax assessments, declarations and payment records. Addresses, cadastral identifiers, periods and amounts remain consistent across the set.
## Translation, certification and preparation for the recipient
Each service keeps its distinct purpose: translation conveys the content, certification confirms the required form, and apostille or legalization is included only under the applicable route.
Civil-status documents issued by Sofia district administrations retain the precise issuing authority and document title. For documents issued by mayors and municipal administrations, unified service 2972 assigns apostille competence to the relevant regional governor when the regime applies.

## Office and online service without duplicated steps
An electronic copy of the complete document is enough for an initial assessment in most cases. Language, volume, legibility, specialist subject matter and intended use determine the specific price and timeframe.
An original or certified copy is involved when the recipient or applicable procedure requires it. This is clarified before production so translation and administrative processing remain distinct.
Once the required final format is clear, electronic delivery, courier service or an available in-person option can be selected. The current choice is confirmed when the order is arranged.
## Documents, languages and contact with the team
