Apostille of Extracts from the Hungarian Company Register

To conduct international business, it is often necessary to validate the legal status of foreign documents. One such document is an extract from the Hungarian company register, used for company registration, tenders, legal proceedings, or signing contracts. To be accepted by Ukrainian or foreign authorities, the extract must undergo apostille certification.

The Legal and Real Estate Association of Ukraine “AROU” offers comprehensive services for apostilling Hungarian company register extracts, ensuring a fast and accurate process.

What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Needed?

An apostille is a special stamp that certifies the validity of a document issued in one country for use in another. It verifies:

• The authenticity of the signature;

• The official capacity of the signer;

• The validity of the seal or stamp.

Hungary and Ukraine are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, which eliminates the need for consular legalization, making the apostille the only form of certification required.

When Do You Need an Apostille?

An apostille is required if the extract will be used outside Hungary, for example:

• Registering a business in Ukraine or another country;

• Participating in international tenders;

• Engaging in legal proceedings abroad;

• Submitting documents to banks to open accounts or obtain loans;

• Proving legitimacy to investors or partners.

How Does the Apostille Process Work?

1. Obtaining the extract.
   An official extract is requested from the Hungarian Company Register (usually the National Court Register).

2. Apostille certification.
   The stamp is applied by the Ministry of Justice or other competent authority.

3. Translation and notarization.
   The document is translated into Ukrainian and notarized for legal use in Ukraine.
