1., Legalisation of signatures
There are two ways to have your signature legalised by our Consular Section:
- you sign the document in the presence of the consul; or
- you recognise the signature on the document as yours in the presence of the consul.
Legalisation of a signature means that the consul checks the identity of the signatory person but does not take responsibility for the content of the document. The document should be prepared by the applicant in advance. Our Office is not entitled to draw up the document. In order to avoid any inconvenience you are kindly requested to inform our office in advance on the number of the documents to be signed.
The applicant should appear in person at our Office and should present his/her valid passport, ID card or driving licence. Please note that your application will be rejected if you fail to present one of these documents.
In case you would like to sign on behalf of a company (or other organisation) you should present the certificate of incorporation of the company. Certificate of incorporation shall have been issued within the previous 30 days.
2., Legalisation of translations
Our Office legalises translations from/to English/Chinese/Hungarian if the translation (prepared by a translator or by the applicant) should be used in Hungary and forms part of a consular procedure.
In certain cases our Office can prepare translations of documents for Hungarian use. In accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 5 of Regulation 1/2002 (23. January 2002) of KÜM-IM the consular officer may refuse to legalise translations which require specialized language skills.
If you need an official translation that should be used in Hungary but does not form part of a consular procedure you should contact the Hungarian Office for Translation and Attestation Ltd (http://www.offi.hu/en).
You should submit the original document together with the translation.
You can submit your application for legalisation in person. Applicants should present a valid proof of ID (ID card, passport or driving license) when attending the appointment.
Please note that during the legalisation procedure the original document should be attached to the translation. In case you do not want the original (certificate, diploma, etc.) to be attached to the translation you are also required to provide a copy of the document.
3., Legalisation of copies
- Legalisation of a copy: our Office legalises the copy the applicant made of an original document, upon presentation of the original.
- Certified copy: upon presentation of the original document, our Office makes a certified/legalised copy of it.
You can submit your application for legalisation either in person. Applicants should present a valid proof of ID (ID card, passport or driving license) when attending the appointment.
