You can order a certified copy of a Hungarian birth, marriage and death certificate in person through an official representation (consular office) in the UK. Honorary consuls are NOT authorised to take such applications.

Please note that a copy of a birth, marriage or death certificate can only be obtained when the birth, marriage or death in question happened in the (current) territory of Hungary or, if it happened abroad, it has been already registered in the Hungarian records. Otherwise the birth, marriage or death has to be registered first (see at 'Registration of birth, marriage, death')

The consular office does not provide emergency/fast track appointments. We use the same booking system as our clients do, therefore we are unable to give you earlier appointments either.

As a general rule, certificates are issued within 2-3 weeks of submitting the application and are free of charge. Should you wish to receive the document via post, please make sure to bring a stamped and addressed envelope as well to your appointment (it is recommended to use a “special delivery” service).

You may download the necessary form at the bottom of this page. Please note that all forms must be filled out and signed with a blue ink pen, and in all cases the Hungarian version must be used – the English version and is a courtesy translation and is a guideline only.

Should you wish to obtain the birth/marriage/death certificate of your parents (ancestors), you need to provide a proof of relationship to those persons (ie. your own birth certificate). The valid passport or ID card of the applicant must be presented at all times.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON RULES AND REGULATIONS

1.) The European Commission has formally adopted a revised harmonised list of supporting documents on 6 September 2021 which is now applicable.
2.) The BREXIT transition period has ended. As of 1 January 2021 Third-country national EEA/EU/Union family members holding a UK residence permit explicitly issued to the EEA/EU/Union family member shall obtain an entry visa before visiting Hungary.  This rule only applies to those Third-country national family members, who need a visa to cross the Schengen borders.  

3.) British citizens do not need a visa to visit countries in the Schengen Area short-term after Brexit. The UK has now joined a group of visa-exempt third countries which means that, although the UK is now a third-nation, its citizens are not subject to visa requirements. Whilst a visa is not needed for transit, tourism or family visit, British citizens who wish to enter for other reasons such as to work should check the visa requirements of the specific EU member state. Hungary does not require a visa from British citizens for any reason (including work) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. British citizens who wish to enter Hungary to work should check if they need a work permit (which is not a visa) with the help of their future employer. Information in Hungarian is available for employers at the National Employment Service's website. Should the intended stay, for any reason, exceed 90 days in any 180-day period, British citizens need to apply for a residence permit (see point I below) 
4.) As of 2 February 2020 new EU rules on short-stay visas make it easier for legitimate travellers to apply for a visa to visit Europe, facilitating tourism, trade and business, while providing more resources for countering irregular migration risks and threats to internal security. For further details please visit https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_20_149

5.) Please note that the visa procedure concerning family members of Hungarian citizens has changed with effect from 1 January 2019. Family members of Hungarian nationals who need a visa to travel to Hungary based on the 2018/1806/EU Regulation should lodge the application in line with the general Schengen visa procedure (see below: point II. 3-7)

6.) Consulates are collecting fingerprints and digital photos from visa applicants and the applicants' data will be stored in the Visa Information System (VIS).

The data can be consulted by all visa-issuing authorities of the Schengen States, and is counter-checked by border authorities at the entry of the visa holder into the Schengen area.

For further information click here
7.) Non-EU citizen need a valid passport fulfilling the following criteria:

· its validity shall last until at least three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the Member States

· it shall have been issued within the previous 10 years.
8.) List of travel documents which entitle the holder to cross the external borders of the Schengen Area and which may be endorsed with a visa can be found on the following website at the (Info banner on the right, under 4 different links):

http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/index_en.htm
9.) Please note that a visa is only a prerequisite for entering the country. However, entry conditions may be checked at the border and you might be refused to enter the country even if you possess a valid visa in case you fail to comply with the entry conditions.

II. SCHENGEN VISA

1. General information
Hungary is a member of the Schengen Area, therefore if you have a valid Schengen visa (i.e. you have not surpassed the validity date, the number of days and the number of entries permitted) then you can use it to travel to Hungary as well.
We would strongly recommend you to apply for a visa as early as possible but not more than 6 months before the date of your actual journey.

In accordance with Article 9 of the Community Code on Visas (810/2009 Regulation of the Council and the Parliament) the application should be lodged at least 15 days before the intended travel. If an applicant fails this time due to the point II.3.3.1 of the C(2010) 1620 decision of the European Committee published on 19th March 2010 it is his/her responsibility. Please note that in certain cases the visa procedure could take up to 45 days (in accordance with Article 23 of the Visa Code).

2. Where to apply for a Schengen visa to Hungary

Visa service is provided at the Visa Application Centre for Hungary by VFS Global Services Ltd. (please see point 3.). VFS assists applicants with the procedure and forwards the application to the Embassy for an additional fee.

Please note that if you are not resident in the UK you should normally apply for a visa at the Hungarian Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.

Should you want to visit a Schengen Member State you should apply for a visa at the Consulate of that country. Should you wish to visit several Schengen Memeber States within the same trip you should apply at the Consulate of the country where you intend to stay for the longest period of time. Should you intend to visit several Schengen Memeber States but no main destination can be determined you should apply at the Consulate of the country whose external border you will cross first in order to enter the territory of the Schengen Area.

Applications should be lodged at least 15 days before the intended travel date. Please note that neither the Consulate nor the Visa Centre takes responsibility for applications submitted less than 15 days before the intended departure and the Consulate reserves the right to return such applications without making any decisions on them.

11. Information on visa waiver agreements

Please visit the website of the Hungarian Consular Service:

https://konzinfo.mfa.gov.hu/en/visa-free-travel-hungary

The eID card is a permanent ID card issued from 1 January 2016 that has a storage element (chip) which allows its holder to use a number of electronic convenience services: e.g. e-government, e-signature, public transport, ePrescription, etc. The range of functions is constantly expanding and details can be found at https://eszemelyi.hu/en/ 

Only Hungarian citizens can apply for an ID card and only permanent ID cards can be requested. It is not possible to apply for a temporary ID card at a consulate.

The permanent ID card can be renewed or replaced in the following circumstances: change in personal data, expiration of validity, error of fact or if the card gets lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

It is possible to renew the ID card that is about to expire no sooner than 60 days before the date of expiration.

1.) Application process

ID card application can be submitted only in person by prior appointment. Appointments can be made online at https://konzinfobooking.mfa.gov.hu

Those minor applicants who have turned 14 can apply for an ID card on their own (without the presence of a parent).

At your appointment you are required to present the following documents:

• valid permanent ID card or an ID card that expired not more than 1 year ago;
• Hungarian passport or a passport that expired not more than 1 year ago;
• address card (lakcímkártya)
• birth certificate or marriage certificate

If you possess a valid Hungarian ID card, yet you are unable to present them during the procedure, your application for the ID card will not be accepted, except if the valid document has been lost or stolen. In this case, you have to give a declaration about the fact that the card was stolen or lost. Your declaration will be drawn up in an official report at the Consulate.

In case you do not have a valid Hungarian ID card or passport, you have to present either one of the following documents:

• valid foreign ID card or passport
• valid Hungarian or foreign driving license card (provisional driving license won't be accepted)

If the applicant is under the age of 14, the attendance of one parent / legal representative is sufficient for submitting the application. The legal representative is required to present a valid identification document (e.g. passport, identity card, driving license (excluding provisional driving license)). Additionally, the legal representative must provide the Hungarian birth certificate of the child. In cases where the child's birth has not been registered in Hungary, it is necessary to initiate the birth registration first.

In case the applicant is under the age of 6, a recent photo of the child is required. The photo shall be taken with a white background by a professional photographer. Minors under the age of 6 are not required to be present at the appointment.

The old ID card must be taken. Valid ID cards are given back for use until the arrival of the new document. However, in this case the new ID card can only be taken after handing over of the old document at the Consulate.

Upon the submission of the application, your photo, fingerprints and signature are digitally recorded.

Fingerprints will not be recorded if:

• the Hungarian citizen is under age of 6;
• the applicant is physically unable to give fingerprints

2.) Codes and passwords

Upon the submission of the application the applicant is given a PIN envelope that contains the PIN code and PUK code of the Electronic ID card. Once you have received the ID card, you can create a Governmental Client Gate (Ügyfélkapu) profile online at www.magyarorszag.hu using your PIN code. The PIN code is necessary for some of the Hungary-based services provided by the E-ID card. The PIN code can be changed once the E-ID card is handed over to the owner. Services provided by the E-ID card are not available without the activation of the PIN code. However, the document can be used for travelling and personal identification even without the activation of the PIN code.

Please note that in case you lose the PIN envelope before receiving the new ID card, the Consulate will not be able to initiate an application for a new PIN code, as it can be requested only in the government document offices located in Hungary. Likewise, the Consulate has no competence in the re-activation of the blocked PUK code, either.

Services provided by the E-ID card: registration of social security number (TAJ-szám), tax number, and the phone number of an emergency contact.

Upon submission of the application for an E-ID card, the consul checks the database in order to find out whether the applicant has a registered social security number (TAJ-szám) and tax ID. In case the query returns no results, the social security and tax ID will not be recorded on the storage unit of the E-ID card. In case you possess a social security card (TAJ-kártya) or a tax card, make sure you have both of the documents on you at the time of your appointment.

You can request the registration of the phone number of an emergency contact either together with your application for the ID card or after having received your new ID card. It is possible to register two phone numbers.

3.) Payment

The Electronic ID card application is for free of charge.

4.) Duration of the procedure

The new documents arrive to the Consulate within 5-8 weeks after the date of application. 

5.) The validity of the E-ID card

In case the cardholder is over 18 years of age, the ID card has a validity of 6 years and expires on the birthday of the owner.

In case the cardholder is over 12 years of age, but has not yet turned 18, the ID card has a validity of 3 years and expires on the birthday of the owner.

In case the cardholder has not yet turned 12, the ID card is valid for 3 years and expires on the birthday of the owner or on the day the owner turns 12. (For instance, if the date of issue is 20 January 2017 and the birthday of the owner is on 5th April, the E-ID card will expire on 5th April 2020, except if the owner turns to 12 before 5 April, 2020.)

Those who are over 65 years of age can request an ID card without an expiry date. ID cards without an expiry date have no storage units; the date of expiry is established as 1st January of the 60th year after the date of issue.

6.) Rejection

The application can be rejected if:

• the applicant is not registered in the personal data and address information database;
• if the applicant has a passive record in the personal data and address information database (for instance because formerly having settled abroad);
• the applicant has failed to register an event (marriage, divorce) happened abroad which caused the change of the name (for instance, she has taken her husband’s surname);
• a travel ban has been imposed on the applicant.

The applicant can lodge an appeal against the negative decision within 15 days. The appeal must be submitted to the consulate where the negative decision has been made. The appeal must be explained.

It is not possible to request an electronic signature (E-sign) at the consulates. It can be applied after having received the E-ID card online or personally at any government office located in Hungary.

*** The following summary is intended to serve as general information for those planning a trip to Hungary. Detailed rules and requirements are available in the relevant government decree which is available only in Hungarian. For further information in English please also check the websites of the competent Hungarian authorities listed on the bottom of this page. Should you have further question, please contact the official COVID-hotline in Hungary at koronavirus@1818.hu *** 

As of 15 July, the Hungarian government introduced new entry requirements in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus from abroad. Countries has been classified green, amber, or red based on the level of COVID-19 infection. Different rules apply to travellers depending on the 'colour' of the country they are travelling from.  The full list of countries is set out on pages 4-7 of a document issued by the Hungarian Chief Medical Officer (available only in Hungarian). The UK has been classified as amber. 

Entry requirements for arrivals from the UK (and other countries classified as 'amber')

All arrivals from the UK to Hungary will have to undergo a medical examination for COVID-19 (including a brief interview and temperature screening). UK nationals who can present a valid permanent residence permit or any kind of permit allowing stay in Hungary for more than 90 days (e.g. registration certificate) will need to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival. You can be exempted from the requirement to self isolate if upon arrival you can provide two negative (PCR swab) test results for COVID-19 with a minimum of 48 hours difference between the two tests, taken within 5 days prior to your entry date. NHS PCR swab test results are acceptable in printed format (both the appointment confirmation and the result shall be printed) to avoid the self-isolation requirement. There are also fit to fly COVID-19 tests available in the UK where a certificate is issued. Those are also accepted by Hungarian authorities provided that they are printed and includes a negative PCR swab test result.

You can also choose to undertake testing in Hungary after you have started self- isolation. In order to leave self-isolation to be tested, a special permit needs to be requested from the regional public health authority ('Népegészségügyi Osztály'). Check this map to find out which public health office is located near to your accomodation in Hungary. If your first test is negative, the same public health office may exempt you from further self-isolation, but you are still required to take the second test. If your second test result is positive, you will be required to continue your self-isolation. If on arrival you show symptoms of COVID-19, you will need to go into government quarantin or self-isolation for 14 days. 

Other UK nationals (or foreign nationals arriving from the UK) without a Hungarian residence permit will also undergo medical checks on arrival. If you show no symptoms of COVID-19, the same quarantine rules will apply as for those with residence permit. However, if you show signs of COVID-19, entry to Hungary will be denied.
