Proof of Identity & Document Witnessing Service in Hungary

Who it is for

Sometimes an official body asks for a lawyer to watch you sign a document or to confirm who you are. This service covers that. Common examples:

• Passport renewal: foreigners living in the country often need someone to confirm their identity.
• Pensions and investments: people living abroad may need to prove who they are to manage savings or send money back home.
• Selling property elsewhere: selling a home in your home country or another country often requires your signature to be confirmed.
• Business: people doing deals across borders that must meet local rules.

How it works

• You explain what you need and book a meeting at a nearby office.
• The lawyer checks that your documents are suitable.
• You meet in person. The lawyer watches you sign and can confirm your identity with a stamp and, if needed, a covering letter.
• If required, the documents can also be notarised, meaning made official by a notary, a public officer who certifies documents.
• An official translation can be arranged if needed.

Why it helps

You can complete matters in another country without travelling there. This saves time and money and can help avoid penalties if you cannot travel to finish a deal.
