Apostille Service for U.S.-Issued Documents for Bulgaria

When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Bulgaria

U.S. documents are required for different purposes in Bulgaria. These can include travel, studying, working, conducting business, or completing official procedures with the U.S. Embassy in Sofia.

• For Travel

If you are visiting Bulgaria for tourism or business for less than 90 days, you do not need a visa. However, your U.S. passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure date.

Starting in mid-2025, travelers from the United States must also complete a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) application before entering Bulgaria or other European countries.

If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, work, or study, you must apply for a Bulgarian visa. Long-term visas are issued for specific purposes such as employment, education, or residence. When applying, you will need to submit your U.S. passport, proof of purpose of stay, financial documentation, and health insurance.

• For Official Actions

Certain official processes in Bulgaria also require U.S. documents. If a U.S. citizen has a child born in Bulgaria, the parents must apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) through the U.S. Embassy in Sofia. This process requires the original international version of the birth certificate, the parents’ marriage certificate, and other supporting documents.

For U.S. passport services, you may need documents such as a birth certificate, parent identification, or an existing passport. The U.S. Embassy in Sofia also handles notarial services. If you need documents notarized for use in Bulgaria, you must schedule an appointment and present valid identification and the documents requiring certification.

• For Business

If you plan to conduct business or trade with Bulgaria, proper documentation is also necessary. U.S. exporters may need to show compliance with European Union regulations, such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives. Food and agricultural exporters must meet Bulgarian product standards before entering the market.

In many cases, business documents such as incorporation certificates, powers of attorney, and commercial agreements require authentication through an apostille before they can be accepted in Bulgaria.
