- Opening hours (according to the embassy): Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:30.

Who runs the Bulgarian Embassy?
The ambassador is Nataliya Evgenieva Uzunova, who presented credentials to the King of the Belgians on 4 December 2025. Brussels hosts the EU institutions and NATO, so several countries keep separate missions there; this page covers the bilateral embassy to Belgium. Two honorary consulates support Bulgarian citizens in other parts of Belgium.
Consular services
The consular section typically handles:
- Bulgarian passports and emergency travel documents
- Registration of births, marriages and deaths
- Certification and legalisation of documents
- Powers of attorney and notarial acts
- Certificates for pensions abroad
Documents checklist
Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Bulgarian sources:
Bulgarian passport (application abroad)
- Apply in person at a Bulgarian embassy or consulate – signature, photo and fingerprints are taken there (posts without the equipment do not accept applications)
- Your old passport, which is handed in for destruction before the new one is issued
- If lost or stolen: a police document certifying the loss (notify the consular service within 3 days)
- Minors: both parents sign in front of the consular official with the child’s Bulgarian birth certificate (with personal number), or a notarised power of attorney from the absent parent
- Foreign documents need an apostille or legalisation
- Without any valid document: a temporary passport (valid up to 12 months) can be issued
