How do you search Bulgaria's Commercial Register?
Use the Registry Agency portal to identify a Bulgarian company and choose the current-state result or filed act that answers your check.
By Matthew Lee
Bulgaria's Registry Agency operates the Commercial Register and Register of Non-profit Legal Entities (opens in a new tab). Its public reports let you identify a trader by name or Unified Identification Code (UIC) and inspect the registered state. Start with the legal entity on the contract, then compare its UIC to any number supplied on an invoice or certificate.
Which report answers the question?
The portal's current-state report (opens in a new tab) shows registered circumstances for the selected entity. Its reports also cover filed acts and changes over time. Fill Easy's Bulgaria document list identifies a State of play search with company particulars, status, capital, directors and insolvency information among its listed fields; inspect the actual result before relying on a particular field.
A practical search sequence
- Search by UIC when available. If you begin with a name, confirm the UIC and legal form before matching a similar result to the customer or supplier.
- Read the current state for registered address, status and representative. For a historical signing or ownership question, open the change or filed act covering the relevant date.
- Retain the report URL, retrieval date and underlying filing date. Order a separate act or certificate if the search result does not answer the evidence question.
For example, a Bulgarian supplier may use a trading name on a purchase order. Resolve the registered entity by UIC, check that its representative could act for it, and obtain a mandate if the person signing is not shown in the register.
Access and ownership limits
The European e-Justice Portal describes public search access to Bulgarian register information, while some file access and electronic services require identification. A current-state result does not by itself prove a complete natural-person ownership chain. Check the relevant filed ownership information, later transfers and each corporate holder before reaching that conclusion.
For Fill Easy's manual retrieval route, provide the UIC, exact record and relevant event date through CorpVerify or the email channel. Confirm the requested document, price and turnaround with the order.
