An extract copy reproduces selected entries about employers, positions, periods and legal grounds rather than necessarily the entire employment record book. For official use, the service combines accurate translation, review of the certified source and suitable preparation of the file without automatically adding authentication that does not apply.
What does an extract copy from an employment record book certify?
The document reproduces a defined part of the employment history: one employer, a specified period, a sequence of positions or the records needed to prove service and professional experience. The holder’s identity, dates, employer, position, legal grounds, signatures, seals and recorded corrections are all relevant.
When is the paper employment record used and when is an electronic record used?
The Bulgarian paper employment record remains the source for service entered in it up to 1 June 2025. After that date, employment data are maintained in the Employment Register through unified electronic employment records. The translation follows the document actually issued for the relevant period and does not merge the two systems.
How is the copy prepared for official presentation?
Depending on the source, the copy may be issued or certified by an employer, competent administration, notary or another authorised body. In a partial extract, the beginning and end of the selected entries, table continuations and related certifications must remain unambiguous. The translation is prepared against that certified source.
When is an apostille or another authentication required?
An apostille is not automatically attached to every employment record book or copy. The route depends on the authority that certified the extract, the destination country, the applicable international arrangement and the receiving institution’s requirements. Source authentication, certified translation and any subsequent legalization are separate stages.
How is foreign proof of employment handled?
For a foreign document, the original, official extract, certified copy and electronic record are distinguished first. The issuer and country determine whether an apostille, consular legalization, treaty exemption or translation alone applies. La Fit Trans matches the completed file to its specific intended use in Bulgaria.
What is the role of the certified translation?
The certified translation conveys the content and visible certifications of the copy, but it does not turn an ordinary copy into an official document or replace a required apostille. Employers, positions, periods, order numbers and legal grounds are rendered consistently so that they match related employment and social-insurance documents.
How does La Fit Trans organise the service?
The team reviews every included page and continuation, identifies the language pair and applicable authentication, prepares the translation and performs an independent revision. The original, copy, translation and certifications remain clearly separated, and the completed file can be delivered remotely or collected from a selected office.
What determines the quotation and completion time?
The quotation reflects the number of pages and entries, legibility of handwriting and seals, complexity of positions and legal grounds, language pair, type of certification and delivery method. After review, La Fit Trans provides a defined scope, price and realistic completion time for the specific document rather than a general promise for every procedure.
