Apostille for Hungary 
If you need an apostille for Hungary, you will be pleased to know that the process is simple and cost-effective. Because Hungary is a signatory to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, only a UK Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) apostille is required — there is no need for further consulate legalisation from the Hungarian Embassy.
What is an apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document. Therefore, once the FCO issues the apostille stamp, your document is fully recognised in Hungary without any additional steps. This simplifies the process considerably compared to countries outside the Hague Convention.
Legalisation requirements
Since Hungary is a party to the Hague Convention, Foreign Commonwealth Office legalisation is all that is required. Furthermore, no additional Hungarian Embassy or consulate endorsement is needed. As a result, the process is faster and more cost-effective than for non-Hague Convention countries.
Time and fees
Processing times and fees vary depending on the service level you choose. In addition, we offer both standard and express options to suit your requirements. Please see our legalisation section for a full guide to Foreign Commonwealth Office fees and timescales. Moreover, our team can advise on the best option for your specific documents and deadlines.
Documents we can apostille for Hungary
We handle a wide range of documents for Hungarian apostille purposes. Moreover, our experienced team ensures that each document is correctly prepared before submission to the FCO. Commonly apostilled documents include:
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Educational certificates and degree transcripts
- Criminal record checks (DBS certificates)
- Company documents and articles of association
- Power of attorney documents
- Statutory declarations and affidavits
How the process works
The process is straightforward. First, you send us your original documents or certified copies. We then prepare and submit them to the Foreign Commonwealth Office for apostille certification. Once the FCO apostille is applied, we return your documents promptly. Because Hungary accepts the apostille directly, you can use your documents as soon as they arrive.
