Apostilled extracts from Hungary
Hungary joined the Hague Convention on simplified legalization of documents on April 18, 1972.
Ever since January 18, 1973 the Convention came into force.
Thus, documents issued in Hungary are subject to legalization based on the apostilling procedure, after certified translation such documents acquire full legal force on the territory of all other Hague Convention Member States.
As a rule, apostillation of extracts takes about two weeks.
