Bangladesh PCC Attestation from Bulgaria Embassy, New Delhi: Is It Still Needed?
Bangladesh PCC attestation from Bulgaria Embassy in New Delhi made sense when Bulgaria had no working embassy in Dhaka and Bangladesh was outside the Apostille Convention. The second part changed on 30 March 2025. Bulgaria did not object to Bangladesh joining, so a Bangladeshi police clearance for Bulgaria now normally carries the Bangladesh MOFA e-apostille instead.
Bangladesh PCC attestation from Bulgaria Embassy: quick answer
Bangladesh PCC attestation from Bulgaria Embassy in New Delhi was the old route because, as Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry states, Bulgaria has no functioning embassy in Bangladesh and its embassy in Delhi is accredited for Bangladesh. Since 30 March 2025, though, the Apostille Convention applies between Bangladesh and Bulgaria; Bulgaria is not among the twelve states that objected. A Bangladeshi PCC for Bulgaria should now carry the Bangladesh MOFA apostille, which is issued electronically, and needs no embassy legalisation.
INFINITYGRO cannot obtain that apostille for you. If a Bulgarian office still insists on legalisation of a PCC authenticated by Bangladesh MOFA, send a photo first; we confirm whether we can help.
Why Bangladeshi documents went to the Bulgarian Embassy in Delhi
On its page for Bangladesh, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Bulgaria does not have a functioning embassy in Bangladesh and that the embassy in Delhi is accredited for Bangladesh. It gives the embassy’s address as 16/17 Chandragupta Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021.
Before 2025, a Bangladeshi PCC for Bulgaria therefore travelled from Dhaka to Delhi for legalisation after Bangladesh MOFA authentication. That is the route older guides, including earlier versions of this page, describe.
What the apostille changes for Bulgaria
Bulgaria
A party to the Apostille Convention since 2001. It did not object to Bangladesh’s accession, according to the depositary’s records.
Bangladesh
Party since 30 March 2025. Its Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the competent authority and issues electronic apostilles, with an online register for checking them.
Checks before you file the PCC in Bulgaria
- The e-apostille belongs to this PCC and shows your details correctly
- It can be found on Bangladesh’s online apostille register
- The PCC is recent enough for the Bulgarian office handling your file
- You know whether a Bulgarian translation is required and who may make it
- Your Bulgarian employer or university knows the rule changed in 2025
INFINITYGRO does not obtain Bangladeshi PCCs or apostilles; both come from Bangladesh. We can look at a photo and tell you whether anything seems to be missing.

FAQs: Bangladesh PCC Attestation from Bulgaria Embassy, New Delhi: Is It Still Needed?
Do I still need Bulgaria Embassy attestation on a Bangladesh PCC?
Normally not. Since 30 March 2025 the Apostille Convention applies between Bangladesh and Bulgaria, and Bulgaria did not object to Bangladesh’s accession. A PCC with the Bangladesh MOFA apostille should be accepted in Bulgaria without the embassy’s stamp.
Why was the Bulgarian Embassy in New Delhi involved at all?
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 in New Delhi.
How can the Bulgarian office check a Bangladeshi e-apostille?
The HCCH reported in 2025 that Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues e-apostilles and has set up an online register for verifying them. The receiving office can use the details on the apostille to check it there.
Can INFINITYGRO obtain the Bangladesh e-apostille for me?
No. The e-apostille is issued in Bangladesh by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the PCC comes from the police there. INFINITYGRO does not apply for either. We help with checks, translation and, where still needed, the New Delhi stage.
How much does Bangladesh PCC attestation from Bulgaria Embassy cost?
Our part is quoted in writing after we see a photo of the document. Any Bulgarian Embassy fee, translation and courier are listed separately in the same quote. We do not publish fixed prices for documents issued outside India.
My Bulgarian employer insists on the embassy stamp. What should I do?
First show them that the apostille now applies; their checklist may predate 2025. If they still insist, send us a photo of the PCC with its Bangladesh MOFA stamp. We confirm whether we can help before you send anything.
Does the PCC need a Bulgarian translation?
Bulgarian offices commonly work in Bulgarian and may ask for one. Ask whether a translation made outside Bulgaria is accepted or must be made there. Where one from India is accepted, INFINITYGRO translates into Bulgarian, quoted by page.
Is the route the same for a Nepal PCC?
No. Nepal is not a Convention party, so a Nepal police report for Bulgaria still needs Nepal MOFA attestation and then legalisation by the Bulgarian Embassy in Delhi, which the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry says is accredited to Nepal.
