אזרחות ממוצא - מוסד אבהות/הורות על פי אישור או החלטת בית משפט (ЗБГ Art. 9)

BG-DSC-03 е маршрутът за гражданство по произход (jus sanguinis) за лице, чиято връзка с български родител не е документирана с обикновен акт за раждане, а е установена по реда на ЗБГ чл.9 — чрез припознаване от български гражданин или чрез съдебно решение, установяващо произхода от български гражданин. Статутът на български гражданин възниква по силата на закона (ex lege) под чл.8 в момента на раждането; чл.9 само доставя доказателството за родителската връзка. The court or civil-status registry establishes the PARENTAGE FACT only — never citizenship itself (чл.4). The route is a proof-pathway subset of BG-DSC-01 (чл.8) per Overlap BG-OVL-014: DSC-01 = uncontested parental link, DSC-03 = link proven via acknowledgment or court. As of ЗБГ ДВ бр.61/29.07.2025.

There is NO residence requirement. Acquisition under чл.8 (reached via the чл.9 proof pathway) is ex lege jus sanguinis: a single Bulgarian-citizen parent at the moment of birth confers citizenship by origin automatically, irrespective of place of birth (Bulgaria or abroad) and with no residence, registration or domicile precondition. Unlike the naturalization routes (чл.12 standard 5-yr PR/LTR; чл.13 3-yr; чл.15 origin), DSC-03 carries no residence clock at all — the person was already a Bulgarian citizen from birth. The чл.39 establishment certificate may be applied for from abroad through a Bulgarian diplomatic/consular mission, underscoring the absence of any in-country residence condition. As of 2026-06-13.

The core link-proof is the чл.9 instrument: (a) акт за припознаване / civil-status register entry effecting the acknowledgment (припознаване по реда на Семейния кодекс), OR (b) влязло в сила съдебно решение establishing произход. For the чл.39 certificate, Наредба №1/1999 чл.15(2) requires: препис от акт за раждане / дубликат на удостоверение за раждане; документ за датата и начина на напускане на страната (for persons abroad); 2 актуални паспортни снимки; документ за промяна на имената (if any); фотокопие на документ за самоличност; документ за придобито чуждо гражданство (if any); препис от акт за смърт (if relevant person deceased); документ за внесена държавна такса. Plus proof the parent held Bulgarian citizenship at the applicant's birth. Foreign documents must be legalised (1961 Apostille/treaty) and translated into Bulgarian. Secondary descent evidence enumeration (Екзархия baptismal certificates etc.) is T3-illustrative.

Phase 1 (the parental-link establishment) has NO statutory citizenship-side timeline: припознаване is an administrative civil-status act completable promptly, while a съдебно решение установяване на произход is ordinary civil litigation whose length is case-dependent and not fixed by the ЗБГ. Phase 2 (the чл.39 certificate) has a 30-day statutory term (чл.39 text) / 1-month service term (IISDA), and the resulting certificate is valid for 1 year. Because acquisition is ex lege at birth, there is no acquisition deadline — the чл.39 step certifies a pre-existing status, well after the fact if needed ('no deadline' a well-supported inference). Overall duration is dominated by Phase 1 where a court action is required. As of 2026-06-13.

The ЗБГ чл.39 establishment-of-citizenship certificate costs 250 BGN ≈ 127.82 EUR (1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN fixed rate), raised from 50→250 BGN effective 01.07.2025 by ПМС №104/25.06.2025, обн. ДВ бр.52/2025 (т.57 раздел Г). Additional applicant-borne costs not set by the ЗБГ tariff: court fees (държавна такса) and legal representation for the иск за установяване на произход; civil-status, translation and Apostille/legalisation costs for foreign documents — all case-dependent and outside the ЗБГ Тарифа. Euro changeover took effect 01.01.2026; dual pricing applies 08.08.2025–08.08.2026. As of 01.07.2025 (BGN/EUR).

ЗБГ чл.9 itself is UNAMENDED since the 1998 Act (in force 20.02.1999) and remains verbatim in the consolidation to ДВ бр.61/29.07.2025 — there is no substantive change to the acknowledgment/court-establishment descent rule. The procedural surroundings did change: ЗБГ чл.39 was amended by ДВ бр.41/2001 and ДВ бр.21/2021, and the чл.39 certificate fee was raised 50→250 BGN effective 01.07.2025 (ПМС №104/ДВ бр.52/2025). Naredba №1/1999 чл.15 was amended through ДВ бр.50/2021. The euro changeover (01.01.2026) introduced EUR pricing alongside BGN (dual pricing 08.08.2025–08.08.2026). None of these touched the substantive чл.9 eligibility. As of 2026-06-13.

Multiple authorities by phase. For припознаване: the длъжностно лице по гражданското състояние (civil-status official at the община) under the Семеен кодекс. For съдебно установяване на произход: the competent граждански съд (civil court). For the resulting citizenship certificate: the Министерство на правосъдието (Ministry of Justice) issues the ЗБГ чл.39 удостоверение за гражданство; applications are filed чрез общината по постоянен адрес or via a Bulgarian diplomatic/consular mission (МВнР consular network) and forwarded служебно to the MoJ (Наредба №1/1999 чл.15). Crucially, the court establishes ONLY the parentage fact; it does not grant citizenship (чл.4), and the President/Съвет по гражданството naturalization machinery is NOT engaged — DSC-03 is not a discretionary grant. As of 2026-06-13.

Dual nationality is permitted. ЗБГ чл.3 provides that a Bulgarian citizen who is also a foreign national is treated ONLY as Bulgarian under Bulgarian law unless a law provides otherwise — Bulgaria tolerates multiple nationality. A person acquiring Bulgarian citizenship by descent via the чл.9 pathway therefore need not renounce any other citizenship (renunciation is a чл.12(1) т.6 condition of standard naturalization, not of jus sanguinis). Moreover, as a citizen BY BIRTH (по рождение, по произход), the person enjoys Const. чл.25(3) protection: a citizen by birth CANNOT be deprived of Bulgarian citizenship. Note: holding another nationality does not bar the route, but the President-eligibility bar (Const. чл.93(2), 'no other citizenship') is a separate downstream limitation. As of 2026-06-13.
