The Order of Civil Merit (bolg. The Order of Civil Merit) is a state award of the Principality, and in 1908 of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. The Order was established by Decree of Prince Ferdinand I on August 2, 1891 and was intended to reward civil servants who, through exemplary service or significant merits, acquired the right to gratitude of the Fatherland. The Order of Civil Merit was restored, with some changes, on June 13, 2003 and is currently the state award of the Republic of Bulgaria. The Order of Civil Merit had six main degrees and one special degree. There were also three degrees for awarding female employees.
