CHANGES IN BULSTAT ARE IN FORCE TODAY

The amendment to the BULSTAT Register Act enters into force today. The BULSTAT codes of the natural persons, which coincide with their Unified Civil Number and contain 10 characters, will be converted into a code with 9 characters.

The change is in line with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (GDPR) and affects more than 300,000 people in Bulgaria.

The code change is automatic and does not require users to submit documents or applications. Information on the "old-new code" link will be available on the official website of the BULSTAT register, "Information" section.

If you have a fiscal device with the old registration, after the change you have to register it again with the NRA with the new data.
