Questions

Is this the same as a certified translation?

Yes. In Bulgaria an official translation is signed by a translator on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs register and stamped by the agency. Many institutions then also require legalisation or an apostille, which we can arrange.

Do you need the original document?

For the translation itself a clear scan is enough. For legalisation or an apostille we need the original, or a notarised copy, depending on the procedure.

How are pages counted?

We count the finished translation: 1,800 characters including spaces equals one page, rounded up to the nearest half page with a one-page minimum.
