Who we are?
www.mitra-bg.com is owned by MITRA Translations Ltd., previously ET MITRA-D Teodora Pencheva Co. Recently MITRA Translations acquired the sole proprietor and inherited the business activity established in 1990 and registered with the Commercial register under number 571 on 21.05.1990, company file number 571 / 1990. In 1991 the Company signed its initial contract with the Consular Department of the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs under license No 007 for providing translation services from and into foreign languages. Due to some amendments with the legislation in 2002 every translations agency had to resign its contract, so the Company signed a new contract under No 260 / 95-00-150 / 2001 on 23rd of January 2002. Since 1991 and until now the Company has never stopped operating as a Translations Agency and with the 22 years in business it gained wide experience in translations and legalizations, which appears to be an outstanding proof for the quality of the services provided.
