Hungary
Destination Guide
Hungary has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since 1973, making MOFA apostille the correct certification for Korean documents submitted to Hungarian authorities — no Hungarian Embassy legalization is required. Hungarian is the sole official language and all official document translations must be certified. Hungary hosts one of the largest concentrations of Korean manufacturing investment in Central Europe: Samsung SDI operates a major battery cell plant in Göd, SK On has facilities in Komárom and Iváncsa, and LG Energy Solution operates in Debrecen. Korean nationals working at these facilities, as well as those applying for residence permits, studying at Hungarian universities (ELTE, BME, University of Debrecen), or registering a marriage or civil status at a Hungarian registry office require apostilled Korean documents with certified Hungarian translation.
Step-by-step instructions for each Korean document you need apostilled for Hungary.
Does Hungary accept MOFA apostille for Korean documents?
Yes. Hungary has been a Hague Convention member since 1973. MOFA-apostilled Korean documents are accepted by all Hungarian authorities including the OIF/NDGAP (aliens policing), district offices, courts, and universities. No Hungarian Embassy legalization in Seoul is required.
What Korean documents do I need for a Hungarian White Card or EU Blue Card?
A White Card (fehérkártya) requires apostilled Korean academic credentials (degree and transcripts) with certified Hungarian translation, alongside a valid employment contract with a Hungarian employer. EU Blue Card applicants additionally need to demonstrate a higher education qualification of at least three years. For Korean corporate transferees to Samsung SDI, SK On, or LG, your employer's HR team in Hungary typically coordinates the permit application.
What Korean documents are needed to register a marriage in Hungary?
Hungarian civil registry offices (anyakönyvi hivatal) require apostilled Korean civil status documents — typically a birth certificate (기본증명서) and a certificate of no impediment to marriage (혼인관계증명서 confirming no current marriage) — both with certified Hungarian translation.
