    How do I look up a company by its registration number in Hungary?

    Enter the Cégjegyzékszám to look up a Hungary company directly on Cégjegyzék. Unlike a name search, an Cégjegyzékszám returns exactly one entity, which is why it is the identifier to use for KYC, invoicing and contract checks.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Find the Cégjegyzékszám on the paperwork

      The Cégjegyzékszám normally appears on invoices, contracts, the website footer or official correspondence. It is the number counterparties are required to quote.

    2. 2

      Search the Cégjegyzékszám
