Registry Overview
Hungary's company register (Cégjegyzék) is maintained by the company courts. Every Hungarian company receives a cégjegyzékszám (company registration number). Hungary has attracted significant foreign investment due to its competitive corporate tax rate (9%, the lowest in the EU) and central European location.

Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Confusing the Cégjegyzékszám with the Adószám.
✓ The Cégjegyzékszám is the court registry number, while the Adószám is the tax ID; both are needed for complete verification.
✗ Relying on the free 'Tárolt Cégkivonat' for bank-grade verification.
✓ Use a public notary or an authorized provider to obtain a 'Közhiteles' (authenticated) document for official legal transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kft.?▾
Kft. (Korlátolt felelősségű társaság) is Hungary's limited liability company. Minimum share capital is HUF 3,000,000 (about €7,500). It's the most common entity type for small and medium businesses in Hungary.
Why is Hungary's corporate tax so low?▾
Hungary has a flat 9% corporate income tax rate — the lowest in the EU. Combined with a strategic location, EU membership, and competitive labor costs, this makes Hungary attractive for manufacturing and shared services centers.
How do I search Hungarian companies?▾
The e-Cégjegyzék (e-cegjegyzek.hu) provides free online search for all registered Hungarian companies. You can search by company name, registration number, or tax number.
Is Hungarian company data in English?▾
The registry interface has limited English support. Company data and filings are primarily in Hungarian. Commercial data providers may offer translated versions.
How do I search for a company in Hungary by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the E-cégjegyzék and show the registered name, Cégjegyzékszám number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Hungary company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or Cégjegyzékszám number is free here and on the official Hungary register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Hungary companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the Cégjegyzékszám number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Hungary?▾
Search the name or Cégjegyzékszám number above. If the business is on the E-cégjegyzék, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Hungary company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the E-cégjegyzék publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
How do I find a company's Cégjegyzékszám number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its Cégjegyzékszám number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the E-cégjegyzék.
