The registration of a child’s birth outside Hungary can be registered with the Hungarian authorities also by application through our Office’s Consular Section. At the same time, an application for a passport can also be submitted (see note on Hungarian Passport). The procedure takes on average 2-4 months (without the passport procedure) but please note that the procedures could be longer!

Please note that both parents should appear in person when you lodge your application! If the difference between the date of birth and the end of the former marriage of the mother is less than 300 days, the former husband will be registered as father. In this case the mother has right to apply to the court to change the name of the father after the first registration.

 

The required documents to be submitted with the application are as follows:

  • 1. The original birth certificate (i.e. full birth certificate, showing data for parents as well).
    • It first has to be certified by a Taiwanese notary, then authenticated by the Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA), and then our Office will provide the diplomatic authentication, and we will prepare an authentic Hungarian translation as well.
  • 2. Parents’ marriage certificate (photocopy) OR Statutory declaration of acknowledgement of parentage
    • If the parents’ marriage has not yet been registered in Hungary, it has to be undertaken together with the registration of the child’s birth. (See note below on Registration of marriage concluded abroad)
    • In case the parents have not concluded a marriage or did so only after the birth of the child, a Statutory declaration of acknowledgement of parentage has to be made in person at our Office. 
  • ​3. Proof of parents’ nationality 
    • ID Card or Passport. The parents should present their valid, original docuents. The copy is not accepted!
