Bangladesh Education Documents Attestation for Bulgaria: Embassy or Apostille?
Bangladesh education documents attestation for Bulgaria used to end at the Bulgarian Embassy in New Delhi. Since 30 March 2025 Bangladesh has been a party to the Apostille Convention, and Bulgaria did not object, so SSC and HSC certificates, degrees and transcripts from Bangladesh now normally need the Bangladesh MOFA apostille instead. This post explains the change for students and job seekers.
Bangladesh education documents attestation for Bulgaria: quick answer
Bangladesh education documents attestation for Bulgaria now normally means the apostille of Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not legalisation by the Bulgarian Embassy. The Apostille Convention entered into force for Bangladesh on 30 March 2025; Bulgaria has been a party since 2001 and did not object. Bangladesh issues electronic apostilles, and news reports say education documents are among those covered.
Before 2025 these documents went to the Bulgarian Embassy in Delhi, which Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry says is accredited for Bangladesh. INFINITYGRO cannot issue or obtain the Bangladeshi apostille. If a Bulgarian office still asks for embassy legalisation of documents already authenticated by Bangladesh MOFA, send a photo first; we confirm whether we can help.
Bangladeshi education documents a Bulgarian office may ask for
School certificates
SSC and HSC certificates and mark sheets from the Bangladeshi education boards.
University documents
Bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates, provisional certificates and transcripts.
Supporting letters
Medium of instruction or enrolment letters, where a Bulgarian university asks for them.
Each original needs its own apostille. Check the Bulgarian checklist so you only certify what is asked for. Any prior verification in Bangladesh follows the rules of the Bangladeshi authorities.
From the Bulgarian Embassy in Delhi to the Bangladesh apostille
Before 30 March 2025
Authentication in Bangladesh, then legalisation by the Bulgarian Embassy in Delhi, which covers Bangladesh because Bulgaria has no functioning embassy there.
Since 30 March 2025
The Bangladesh MOFA apostille, issued electronically. Bulgaria accepts it as a Convention party that did not object to Bangladesh’s accession.
Twelve states did object, including Germany, France and the Netherlands. If your documents may also be used in one of those countries, ask us before you start, because the route there is different.
Bangladesh education documents attestation for Bulgaria: the Bulgarian side
- Ask the university or employer whether it now accepts the Bangladesh MOFA apostille
- Ask whether a Bulgarian translation is needed and whether one made outside Bulgaria is accepted
- Ask whether a separate recognition of your qualification is part of admission or hiring
- Check deadlines; translation and recognition can take longer than the apostille
- Keep scans of every apostilled document

FAQs: Bangladesh Education Documents Attestation for Bulgaria: Embassy or Apostille?
Do Bangladeshi degrees for Bulgaria still need Bulgarian Embassy attestation?
Normally not. Since 30 March 2025 the Apostille Convention applies between Bangladesh and Bulgaria, and Bulgaria did not object. A degree or transcript with the Bangladesh MOFA apostille should not need Bulgarian Embassy legalisation as well.
Who issues the apostille on Bangladeshi certificates?
Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which the HCCH lists as the competent authority. It issues electronic apostilles, and news reports say education documents are among those covered. INFINITYGRO does not issue or obtain Bangladeshi apostilles.
Why did older guides send these documents to New Delhi?
Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry says it has no functioning embassy in Bangladesh and that its embassy in Delhi is accredited for Bangladesh. Before the apostille applied, Bangladeshi documents for Bulgaria were therefore legalised there, after authentication in Bangladesh.
Can you collect my documents from my Bangladeshi board or university?
No. INFINITYGRO does not obtain, issue or verify certificates, and does not deal with boards or universities on your behalf. Start with the original documents you hold, then send us a photo if you need translation or a route check.
Do I need a Bulgarian translation?
Bulgarian universities and offices may ask for one. Ask whether a translation made outside Bulgaria is accepted or whether it must be made there. Where one from India is accepted, INFINITYGRO translates into Bulgarian, quoted by page.
How much does Bangladesh education documents attestation for Bulgaria cost with you?
Our part is quoted in writing after we see photos, because cases differ. Any embassy fee, translation and courier are listed separately in the same quote. The Bangladesh apostille is arranged in Bangladesh, outside our service.
My Bulgarian university still asks for the embassy stamp. What should I do?
Tell them about the 2025 change first; their checklist may be older. If they still insist, send us a photo of the documents with their Bangladesh MOFA stamps. We confirm whether we can help before you send anything.
Will the same documents work in Germany or France?
Not with the Bangladeshi apostille alone. Germany and France are among the twelve states that objected to Bangladesh’s accession, so the Convention does not apply between them and Bangladesh. Ask those countries’ authorities which route they require.
