The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below. | Evidence area | Documents needed | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legal Registration | Cégkivonat | | Constitutive Documents | *Any one of:* Alapító okirat · Társasági szerződés · Alapszabály | | Tax Registration | Adóigazolás | | Operating Permit | Működési engedély | | Signing Authority | *Any one of:* Aláírási címpéldány · Meghatalmazás | | Address | *Any one of:* Bérleti szerződés · Közüzemi számla · Banki kivonat | | Good Standing | Hiteles cégkivonat | ## Documents to collect The physical documents you'll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil's Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed. | Document | Proves | | ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Cégkivonat** | Legal Registration | | **Alapító okirat (single-member Kft.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Társasági szerződés (multi-member Kft., Bt., Kkt.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Alapszabály (Zrt., Nyrt.)** | Constitutive Documents | | **Adóigazolás (NAV tax certificate)** | Tax Registration | | **Működési engedély (municipal operating permit)** | Operating Permit | | **Aláírási címpéldány (notarised signature specimen)** | Signing Authority | | **Meghatalmazás (power of attorney)** | Signing Authority | | **Bérleti szerződés** | Address | | **Közüzemi számla (≤90 nap)** | Address | | **Banki kivonat (≤90 nap)** | Address | | **Hiteles cégkivonat (certified company extract)** | Good Standing | | **Sector-Specific License** | MNB engedély, Tevékenységi engedély (sector-specific activity licence) | **Not applicable in Hungary:** Ownership Records, Governance Records. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists. ### Collection notes * **Legal Registration:** Official extract from Cégjegyzék via e-cegjegyzek.hu; confirms Cégjegyzékszám, legal form, registered seat, incorporation date. Free public access. * **Constitutive Documents:** Must be countersigned by an attorney or notarized. Hungarian company law distinguishes the founding document by entity type: Alapító okirat for single-member Kft., Társasági szerződés for multi-member Kft., Bt., and Kkt., and Alapszabály for Zrt. and Nyrt. * **Tax Registration:** Issued by NAV confirming adószám and tax compliance. Adószám: 11-digit (XXXXXXXX-Y-ZZ); EU VAT = HU + first 8 digits. * **Operating Permit:** General business/trade permit issued by local government (önkormányzat) for premises-based activities. Not required for all business types; some activities only require notification (bejelentés). * **Sector-Specific License:** MNB license covering banking, payment services, investment firms, insurance, and VASPs. Required when the customer operates in a regulated sector. * **Signing Authority:** Aláírási címpéldány: notary-certified; certifies signatory identity and authority. Aláírásminta: attorney-countersigned, prepared only during registration/amendment. Meghatalmazás: general (max 5 years) or special POA. Cégvezető authority may appear directly on Cégkivonat. * **Address:** Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks. * **Good Standing:** Hungary is a subsumed-by-extract jurisdiction. The Hiteles cégkivonat issued by the Céginformációs Szolgálat (Ministry of Justice) carries a certified timestamp confirming current active status and serves as the CoGS equivalent. Obtain from e-cegjegyzek.hu. The free tárolt cégkivonat is updated weekly and is not a substitute for the certified version. ## Person roles When you submit a person on the application body, set their `role` to one of Conduit's canonical `BusinessPersonRole` values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role. | Local role | Canonical API role | Description | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Vezető tisztségviselő (Kft. üzletvezető / Zrt. igazgatóság tagja) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Managing officer with day-to-day executive authority; legally represents company. | | Igazgatóság tagja (Zrt. board member) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Member of the board of directors of a Zrt.; governance role. | | Felügyelőbizottság tagja (supervisory board member) | `CONTROLLING_PERSON` | Supervisory board member; oversight role; mandatory in large Zrt. or when employees require. | | Cégvezető (company manager) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Registered officer with Prokura-equivalent authority; listed in Cégjegyzék. | | Meghatalmazott (POA holder) | `LEGAL_REPRESENTATIVE` | Holder of Meghatalmazás; binds company within scope of POA. | ## Notes * Act V of 2006 (Ctv.) remains operative through 2026-12-31 — Hungary enacted Acts LIX and LX of 2025 on the registration and termination procedures of legal entities, which take effect 2027-01-01 and will replace Ctv. on that date. Until then, Ctv. section numbers remain valid; from 2027-01-01, references to Ctv. cite superseded law and should be remapped to Acts LIX/LX of 2025. * Kft. shareholders (tagok) are public in the Cégjegyzék, but Zrt. shareholders are held in a private share register (részvénykönyv) not publicly filed — for Zrt., the shareholder register must be obtained directly from the company. * Insurance sector statute update — Act LX of 2003 on Insurance Institutions was replaced by Act LXXXVIII of 2014 on the Business of Insurance, with substantive provisions in force from 2016-01-01; any reference to "Bit. Act LX of 2003" is citing superseded law.
