| Civil registration in Bulgaria was instituted in 1893 and continues to the present. Early registration was sparse but by 1945 it became more comprehensive and complete. Only 70% of the population was covered in these records in the beginning, but by 1945 the coverage became more comprehensive. Unlike church records which only cover a proportion of the population, civil registration covers the majority of the population.
