Refusal
Recognition is refused when:
- The documents are issued by a foreign country school that is not recognized by the competent state authority of that country as part of its secular school education system;
- A document certifying completion of secondary education has been submitted, which, after verification, is found not to have been issued by the relevant school (the document is not authentic).
- A significant difference is found between the general requirements for access to higher education in the Republic of Bulgaria and the country in which secondary education was completed.
