What the applicant declares
This is an English-language guide to a document that is filed in Bulgarian. The declaration under Art. 13(4) of the Commercial Register and Register of Non-Profit Legal Entities Act (known by its Bulgarian abbreviation ЗТРРЮЛНЦ) is a mandatory attachment to applications filed with the Registry Agency. Its content is short but legally significant:
| Element | What it declares |
|---|---|
| Truthfulness of the circumstances | the facts filed with the specific application correspond to reality |
| Acceptance of the documents | the acts submitted for entry (resolution, contract, other declarations) have been accepted by the applicant |
| Criminal liability | the applicant confirms awareness of liability under Art. 313 of the Criminal Code for declaring false circumstances |
The declaration is filed with initial incorporation, any change of circumstances (manager, address, capital, partners), and dissolution/liquidation. Since 1 January 2026, when the annual financial statement is filed through the dedicated electronic system, it is treated as automatically signed together with the other declarations that accompany the filing.
