Registration documents in Stara Zagora are signed in two ways:

• With a QES (qualified electronic signature) — documents are signed by the relevant parties: founders / partners, the manager and the applicant according to the specific document. We recommend a cloud QES from Evrotrust. Important: the manager's specimen signature requires notarisation even when filing electronically.
• On paper — documents are signed on paper, and the specimen signature must be notarised. Notary offices in Stara Zagora are in the central area of the city.

Avoid these common mistakes when preparing registration documents in Stara Zagora:

• Incorrect company name — check availability in the CR beforehand
• Incomplete declarations — all mandatory fields must be filled in
• Invalid address — the address must be real and you need a document proving legal basis for use
• Missing specimen signature — the most common reason for rejection
• Capital amount mismatch — the amount in the articles of association must match the deposit slip
