Certified translation and copies

CERTIFIED TRANSLATION MADE BY THE CONSULATE OR PRESENTED BY THE CLIENT

Applications can be submitted only in person by prior appointment.

Appointments can be made via the online booking system. 

In the authentication clause, the consul certifies that the text of the translation is identical, both in content and in meaning, to the original text. Documents bearing an authentication clause by the consul can be used as a certified translation in proceedings before any Hungarian authority.

Please note that:

the consul may refuse to authenticate a translation, which is not related to consular activities and require specialized expert language skills

the Consulate General only performs authentication of translation related to consular procedures. If you want to use a translation in Hungary, but it is related to non-consular procedures, please contact the National Translation and Translation Certification Office (Országos Fordító- és Fordításhitelesítő Iroda) (http://www.offi.hu/).

CERTIFIED COPIES MADE BY THE CONSULATE OR PRESENTED BY THE CLIENT

Applications can be submitted only in person by prior appointment.

Appointments can be made via the online booking system. 

The consul issues a certificate on the copy of the original document, in the form of an authentication clause stating that the copy is identical in all respects to the original document presented. In case of copy authentication, the consul does not verify the authenticity or the legality of the content of the document itself. The certificate only certifies that the copy is identical to the document presented to the consul.

Please, always bring with you the original document!
