Hey everyone, I got a call today from the HR department of a company that I’m looking for to sign a contract with and after the call Í got a email with details of what to bring to the signing.

The Person told me on the phone í need a national ID Number as seen in the picture, my thing is Í asked her if she means the EGN number that you get from the National Revenue Agency and she told me no thats a different number.

After one quick google search í find out that it is in fact the EGN number according to google.

Can someone help me with understanding what number the Company wants from me?

Thanks in advance

  1. I would interpret this as the document number of your national ID card. On the Bulgarian ID cards, that’s on the bottom right of the front side. 

  2. Hello, maybe it could be the passport number and not EGN?

  3. ЕГН is only for Bulgarian citizens. You probably need a ЛНЧ(личен номер на чужденец)

  4. Hi, I’ve dealt with this in Germany and Austria, basically what they mean is the number of your ID. Generally those numbers are unique (as are your SVN or similar), but can be used to identify the validity of your documents. This is not the EGN(LIN/ЛНЧ/SVN), but the document number

  5. It is against EU regulations (superior to local regulations, for better or worse) to discriminate on that topic.

    EGN is the ID number as common in many countries but, to get it in BG, you have to pay more as a foreigner which makes that practice illegal under EU regulations.

    If, going down the rabbit hole, you find yourself struggling with national entities, solvit might be worth contacting.
