(2) Membership of the dental technicians who do not exercise their profession, is voluntary.

Art. 4.
Every dental technician may practice his/her profession, if entered in the register of the respective
college in the territory where he/she practices.

Membership card

The membership card contains the full name of the regular BADT member and the Universal Identification Number.

The UIN code is made up of 10 (ten) digits and is as follows:

  • 24 – the code of the region according to the administrative division from 01 to 28
  • 18 – the code of the populated place or of the municipality where the Independent Medical and Technical Laboratory is based

Furthermore, a membership card has also a QR – a code which opens the personal page of a dental technician in the national register, where further to the name and UIN code, one can see whether the colleague is regular and may practice.

Membership fee

The membership fee, passed by the BADT Congress, is at the rate of 2% per month of the minimum wage for the country, and is paid by the end of March of the current year. For 2020 it has been 146,40 BGN, calculated on 610 BGN.

Due to the situation created by Covid-19, the National Council has made a decision to reduce the membership fee by deducting the three months of state of emergency. Thus it amounts to 109,80 BGN.
