The sworn-translator myth, undone

People arrive certain that only a court-sworn linguist will do, because that is how it works in some countries and the story spreads. Scotland has no such register, so the title is not one anyone here can hold. A certified translation into Bulgarian in Glasgow rests on a named, qualified translator and a signed statement of accuracy, and that is the pairing Bulgarian bodies are set up to read.

What an official actually checks

Picture the desk on the other side. The clerk holds two sheets: your English record and the Bulgarian text. They look for the same names, the same dates, the same seals in the same places, and a signed line at the end saying who wrote it and when. An official Bulgarian translation in Glasgow that gets those four things right is doing its whole job.

Names spelled as they appear on the paper, not as they sound.
Dates in full, so 03/04 cannot be read two ways.
Stamps and margin notes carried over, not skipped as decoration.

Cost and days at a glance

Two figures cover almost every question. Work is priced at £25 a page, and the standard turn is 2–4 business days from the moment a readable scan arrives. Express handling brings that down to 24–48 hours. Everything else — how many pages, which ones you actually need, whether the file goes by email or paper — is agreed before a translator starts typing.

Glasgow → Bulgaria translation FAQ

Must the work come from a sworn Bulgarian translator in Glasgow?

That is the myth this page exists to clear up. Scotland runs no register of sworn linguists, so the title has no meaning here, and Bulgarian bodies accept work from a certified Bulgarian translator with a signed accuracy statement. What is being tested is the credential of the person and the wording of that statement, not a courtroom oath that Scottish law never created.

Why is the price quoted in euros?

The rate for this route is £25 a page, which is how the work is priced along the Bulgarian corridor. A page is one side of the paper as issued, so a two-sided diploma counts as two. Because the count is agreed with you at the quote stage, the figure you see first is the figure you pay, even if the wording turns out denser than it looked.

How long should I allow before the file is due?

Allow 2–4 business days for standard work, counted from the arrival of a legible scan rather than from your first message. A rush job can be closed in 24–48 hours. If several papers travel together, they are usually finished as one batch, so the longest item sets the date for the whole set rather than each one arriving separately.

Does a certified translation in Glasgow for Bulgaria replace the paper I hold?

It sits beside it. The Bulgarian text is the part an official can read, and your Scottish paper stays exactly as issued, in your hands. Nothing is cut, stapled through or written on. Where the source is a civil record that has seen better days, Glasgow Registration Office at 45 John Street, Glasgow G1 1JE will issue a clean extract to work from.
