The Republic of Haiti (République d'Haïti) is located in the western part of the island of Hispaniola which is part of the Greater Antilles and the second biggest of the group of islands after Cuba. The island is situated in the Caribbean and its biggest eastern portion is occupied by Haiti’s neighbour, the Dominican Republic.

The capital is Port-au-Prince. The name of the country is of ancient Indian origin. The indigenous people gave it the name Ayiti, meaning Mountainous land.

Consular service

Endorsements and legalisations

In order to be valid in Bulgaria and to be able to serve before Bulgarian institutions, all documents issued by the Haitian authorities to Bulgarian citizens must bear the stamp of the Haitian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They must then be authenticated by the Haitian Embassy in Havana, Cuba. The signature and endorsements of the Haitian Embassy in Havana are authenticated by the Consular Service of the Bulgarian Embassy in the Cuban capital.

Once the documents have been prepared in this way, they must be translated into Bulgarian by an authorised company in Bulgaria and certified by the Department of Certifications and Legalisations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria.

European Temporary Passport

In case of emergency (lost passport), Bulgarian citizens can seek assistance locally from a diplomatic mission of any EU Member State in Puerto Rico for the issuance of a travel document.
