Hungary: When US Documents Need a Hungarian Translation

What the consulates say
| What it says | |
|---|---|
| Citizenship verification, birth registration (New York) | A translation only “if the certificates are not in Hungarian, English, French or German”; a US divorce decree must come “with a Hungarian translation”, by OFFI or another official translator. source |
| Simplified naturalization (Los Angeles) | Documents with an authentic Hungarian translation; for English documents the consulate accepts a translation by an official Hungarian translator, which it then over-certifies. source |
Where we fit
Where a Hungarian translation is required, the consulates name OFFI (Hungary's official translation office) or an official Hungarian translator, and Los Angeles adds its own certification. Ask your consulate whether it will certify a translation we prepare before you order; otherwise the official route is OFFI.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to translate my US birth certificate into Hungarian?
Not for citizenship verification or birth registration in New York, which accept English. A US divorce decree needs a Hungarian translation.
