Legalization Center provides an apostille for almost all types of documents issued in Hungary.
The apostille is issued on the original document, which is why a subsequent official translation is often required. The price of the translation is usually 30 EUR / standard page.
Use: EU and most developed countries
Price: from 350 EUR
Apostille requirements in Hungary
Hungary acceded to the 1966 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. Therefore, for the use of documents issued in Hungary, higher verification (superlegalization) is not required; an apostille is sufficient.
- Only the original document can be apostilled; any potential notarized copy can only be produced afterwards.
- It is not possible to apostille documents that contain foreign stamps or other markings. The document must also be in good condition, and the stamps on the document must be clearly legible.
- The apostille certificate is a rectangular stamp. The data on the stamp is always filled out in the Hungarian language, and the heading of the stamp necessarily includes the French title: Apostille (Convention de la Haye du 5 octobre 1961).
Which Hungarian documents can be apostilled
- Criminal record certificate
- Birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates
- Educational documents (certificates, diplomas)
- Extract from the commercial register
- Court decisions
- Notarized copies of documents
- Notarized translations
- Documents on which the signature was verified by a notary (powers of attorney, declarations, etc.)
- Commercial documents (articles of association, certificates of registration, tax registrations, etc.)
