Studying abroad is an unforgettable adventure but if you have decided to go for it, you need to know that it requires thorough preparation. One of the most important steps you will need to do in order to apply successfully, is to prepare the necessary documents, such as diploma, supplement and language certificates, for example.

At arte.doc, we help with all necessary steps:

  • professional translation
  • legalization of the diploma for secondary education, as well as other necessary certificates, recommendations, etc. 

Translation of the diploma an important part of applying to study abroad


The diploma for secondary education is the main document required to continue one education abroad and attain a Bachelor degree. It may also be required in other instances, for example when you apply for a job.

In order to be comprehended and recognized, the diploma needs to be legalized and hence translated into the official language of the country where it will be presented.

There are some exceptions, for example universities in the Netherlands, where studies are conducted in English and so it is acceptable to have the diploma translated into English instead of Dutch.

For the translation of diplomas, we at arte.doc offer a basic, fast, and express option. The express translation is done in up to 4 working hours. In case the diploma needs to be translated into an exotic language, such as Chinese, its translation may take a little more time.

In addition, we can also take care of legalizing the diploma. We offer a combined package for translation and legalization, in order to save our clients time and effort.

Legalization is a process through which the diploma is certified as an authentic document with legal effect. To legalize a Bulgarian diploma, a notarized copy must be procured on which the NACID (National Centre for Information and Documentation) must affix an Apostille.

The whole procedure of translation and legalization takes between 4 and 12 business days and includes:
  • affixing an Apostille by the NACID
  • translation of the document with the Apostille affixed
  • subsequent certification of the translation at the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 

If you decide to carry out the legalization of your diploma on your own, you need to know that there are additional fees that are charged by each state institution. Our package prices include all taxes and fees.


Why choose a professional translation and legalization of the diploma?


There are several major reasons why you should do that.

For starters, the diploma is an essential document which is required both for higher education and for landing a job in the future. Because of this you should take it seriously and entrust it only to professionals.

Translation and legalization of a diploma outside Sofia


If you live or are staying outside Sofia at the time when you need to prepare your documents to apply at a university abroad, you need to know that your diploma must be sent to the capital city to be legalized. The NACID and the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which are the two main institutions that handle the certification of your diploma, are both located in Sofia.

This means that if you decide to carry out the legalization on your own, you will have to set aside several days to go to various institutions in Sofia, as well as money not only for state fees but also for travelling, accommodation, etc.
