The official records
The legal source of truth for Hungary is e-cégjegyzék.
Hungary's authoritative source is the e-cégjegyzék company register, kept by the county registry courts (cégbíróság) under the Ministry of Justice's company-information service. Every company is issued a cégjegyzékszám in the form NN-NN-NNNNNN, a county code, a company-form code and a serial number, alongside a tax number (adószám). The free portal exposes status and core details, while complete filings and financial reports flow through the official Céginformációs Szolgálat.
How to use the register
- Start from the register, not from a bought list. It is the legal record of every company.
- Read the status field. Registers keep closed companies too. See how many have closed in other registers.
- Check the website belongs to the company, with the registration number or a distinguishing name on the page.
