  "title": "Bulgaria Application A1 for Entering Circumstances Regarding a Sole Trader (Заявление А1 за вписване на обстоятелства относно едноличен търговец)",
  "description": "The Agentsiya po vpisvaniyata's (Агенция по вписванията, Registry Agency — the independent state agency that operates Bulgaria's Commercial Register and Register of Non-Profit Legal Entities, ТРРЮЛНЦ) standard Application A1, a genuine 4-page XFA-based fillable form (207 AcroForm widgets across 3 content pages plus a full field-by-field instructions page) used to file three transaction types against the Commercial Register for a sole trader (едноличен търговец, ЕТ): first-time (initial) registration, re-registration of a trader/branch transferring from a foreign register, and a change to already-registered circumstances. Opens Bulgaria's Business Formation vertical, reversing this registry's own prior GOV-2830/GOV-2837 'confirmed dead end' finding for Bulgaria's commercial register — that finding was scoped only to the Commercial Register's JavaScript-gated online template portal (portal.registryagency.bg), not to this genuinely distinct, statically-downloadable specimen hosted on iisda.government.bg (the Integrated Information System for Administrative Services, a separate first-party '.government.bg' domain the Registry Agency's own e-portal cross-references as the current, in-force A1 template). This v1.0.0 is scoped to the initial-registration transaction type only — the simplest, most citizen-relevant single-founder path — modelling the applicant's identity and filing capacity, the sole trader's company identity (trade name, registered seat and contact details, business scope and economic-activity classification), the sole trader's own personal identity, an optional voluntary VAT-registration election available specifically to a first-time filer, the applicant's preference for how a refusal or instruction should be delivered, and the closing signature and a bounded, initial-registration-relevant subset of the form's own attached-document checklist; the re-registration and change-of-circumstances transaction types, the identification block that only applies to those two (field No. 1, 'ЕИК и фирма'), the multi-page continuation mechanism ('Допълнително заявление'), the deregistration flag (field No. 27), and the succession/death/guardianship/marriage-specific attachment items are all excluded as out of scope for an initial registration, with a future companion schema anticipated for the excluded transaction types. This document is authored at `structural-reference` maturity: the form's own printed field-by-field instructions (page 4) are fully transcribed and cross-checked against the AcroForm's own widget inventory, but no live Commercial Register (ТРРЮЛНЦ) submission was attempted (see VERIFICATION.md). GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria or the Registry Agency.",
