Comments: Please note it is common for the Bulgarian administration to treat grammar and spelling in the official documentation lightly. As a result, the Bulgarian criminal record certificates we receive tend to include misspelt names. As this part of the process is beyond our control we cannot take accountability for such mistakes and the certificate received is considered valid as it is. Whenever spelling mistakes occur our report includes the application form filed to the National Criminal Register as evidence the check was conducted against the correct personal data.
Bulgarian authorities may occasionally reject applications filed for non-Bulgarian citizens (full refund applies).
