The EGN, and the three-part name
A Bulgarian marriage certificate (акт за сключен граждански брак) comes from the civil registration office of the municipality and carries both spouses' EGN, the unified civil number, which encodes the date of birth. It is reproduced exactly.
Bulgarian names have three parts: given name, patronymic formed from the father's given name, and family name. The middle element is not a middle name, and a US form that records it as one produces a person whose documents disagree. See our Bulgarian birth certificate page.
Gendered endings, and the name after marriage
Bulgarian surnames are gendered — Ivanov and Ivanova are one family name — and both the patronymic and the surname take the feminine ending, so two women in a family differ from the men by the same letter in two places.
The certificate records the surname each spouse takes after the marriage, which explains why later documents may carry a different name. That entry is translated exactly. See our Bulgarian page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
Is the middle name a middle name?
No, it is a patronymic formed from the father's given name. We say so rather than translating it as a middle name.
Why do the women's names end differently?
Bulgarian names are gendered in both the patronymic and the surname. It is one family name.
Is the EGN translated?
Reproduced exactly. It encodes a date of birth.
