Hungarian citizens that wish to travel and reside abroad might have to get their official public documents authenticated before they can be used outside of Hungary. International governments are tasked with authenticating documents through a process called legalisation, and depending on the documents you want to use outside of Hungary and what the destination country is, these processes can be both complicated and time-consuming. Here at Evergration, we offer a wide range of document legalisation services to help minimise the timeframe for our clients.

Document legalisation services for Hungary
Hungary Apostille
In order to use your Hungarian documents abroad, you must them legalised by the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This is done with a special stamp called an apostille. These stamps ensure the authenticity of official documents and verify that the documents are genuine and comply with the laws of the Apostille Convention. You can learn more about our apostille service here.
Police Clearance
Hungarian citizens that wish to apply for visas or immigration processes in another country, and also any non-Hungarian citizens whose place of permanent residence has been in Hungary during the past 3 or 5 year period (foreign students attending one of the prestigious academic institutions of Hungary wishing to establish residence abroad, just to give one example among the many) will be required to produce a valid Police Clearance Certificate or Certificate of Good Conduct (CGC) in their new country of planned residence. This essential document is issued by the competent Criminal Record Department.

Whenever your public documents have to be authenticated for use outside of Hungary and the country you are travelling to is not a member of the Hague Convention, your documents will have to be authenticated by means of an Embassy Attestation (Nagykövetség igazolása.)
