Notary Services in Bulgaria
When it comes to real estate transactions in Bulgaria, a notary is essential.
Notaries play a critical role in these transactions, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that the transaction is conducted smoothly and lawfully.
They are responsible for verifying the authenticity of signatures on various documents such as contracts and Powers of Attorney, making them a crucial component in maintaining the integrity of legal processes.
Additional Notarial Services
In addition to real estate matters, Bulgarian notaries offer a range of services:
– Will Deposits: Notaries can securely deposit wills, ensuring they are preserved and legally recognized upon execution.
– Vehicle Transfers: They oversee the legal transfer of vehicle ownership, ensuring all necessary documentation is correctly completed and filed.
– Certifying Signatures: Notaries certify signatures on documents, providing an added layer of verification and trustworthiness.
The Role of Notaries Versus Solicitors
In Bulgaria, notaries and solicitors (known as Bulgarian advocates) have distinct roles.
Notaries are public officers appointed to act as impartial witnesses to the signing of documents and to ensure that the parties involved understand the contents of the documents they are signing.
Unlike solicitors, notaries cannot provide legal advice or prepare documents on behalf of their clients.
However, they serve as trusted authorities in formal business dealings, ensuring the legality and authenticity of documents.

Verification of documents with an apostilles
Sometimes, if a document is required to be presented in Bulgaria but was signed or otherwise prepared outside Bulgaria, the document would need to be:
(a) certified; and/or
(b) apostilled
Apostillisation is designed to replace the older procedure of legalisation, and is governed by an international convention (we refer to this as “the Apostille Convention”).
An even simpler procedure may apply where the document was prepared in one of a small number of countries enjoying agreements for special assistance in civil and judicial matters with Bulgaria:
contact us to find out if your country of interest is one of these.
By far the most common situation involves documents which do require an apostille.
Apostilled documents are immediately recognised in all other Apostille Convention states simply by having a special seal (‘apostille’) attached, and can be used (subject to a certified translation) in place of notarised documents.
In property transactions, apostilles may be needed on Powers of Attorney and on several of the documents in the procedure for company registration (if a company is used).
We can help you obtain Legal documents apostiles.
