# Best domain registrars in Bulgaria

Bulgaria's registry is document-driven in a way most of Europe no longer is. Register.BG requires supporting documents in Bulgarian or English, or a licensed translation into one of those two working languages, and a company registered abroad has to authorise a third party who meets the requirements applying to local entities. Since 1 September 2024 an applicant may hold at most 40 pending registration requests and 40 waiting-list entries. No registrar we track sells .bg, and given the paperwork the registry's own channel is where this starts.

## ccTLDs

### .bg

Bulgaria's country code, the standard identity for Bulgarian businesses.

- Eligibility: Effectively restricted for foreign registrants. Companies and organisations registered abroad must authorise a third party who satisfies the requirements applying to local entities. All documents must be in Bulgarian or English, or licensed translations.
- Notes: Register.BG operates the registry. Terms published 1 August 2024 and effective 1 September 2024 cap an applicant at 40 requested names and 40 waiting-list entries. Because eligibility is evidenced by documents rather than asserted at checkout, allow for a review step.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD

### .бг

Bulgaria's Cyrillic internationalised ccTLD, delegated separately from .bg.

- Eligibility: Administered by the same registry under its own rules; a separate IANA delegation, not an alias of .bg.
- Notes: Punycode .xn--90ae. Holding .bg does not give you the Cyrillic string.
