How to search

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "hu". Pass the name as companyName. Hungary takes no other search criteria.

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "hu",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "MOL"  }}

Company identifiers

Hungary has no number-based search: find a company by name, then use the kausateId search returns. These schemes label the values that come back in a company’s identifiers.

Identifier	Appears as	Format
Hungarian Registration Number Company registration number (cégjegyzékszám) for Hungarian companies	`hu_registration_number`	`^\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{6}$`
Central Bank Fund Register Number	`hu_central_bank_fund_register_number`	No fixed format
Commercial Register Entry	`hu_commercial_register_entry`	No fixed format
Tax Number	`hu_tax_number`	No fixed format

Identifier notes

A Hungarian registration number (cégjegyzékszám) is three parts, not one: a two-digit code for the registering court (organised by county), a two-digit code for the company's legal-form category, and a six-digit sequence number, written as XX-XX-XXXXXX. Two numbers sharing the first two segments were registered at the same court under the same category of legal form — only the final six digits tell the companies apart.

Documents you can order

Document	Order by	Status
Hungarian Annual Accounts Annual accounts (Éves beszámoló — Mérleg, eredménykimutatás, kiegészítő melléklet, könyvvizsgálói jelentés) as filed with the Hungarian Ministry of Justice Electronic Annual Reports portal. Pass a kausateDocumentId to fetch a specific filing, or use the document code or the annual_accounts shortcut alone to fetch the most recent annual accounts.	`annual_accounts`	Live

Documents with a shortcut are ordered directly by that name — for example annual_accounts.

Local notes

Gotchas

Trap	What happens
Private share registers error	Shareholder graph requests for Zrt., Nyrt., Rt. or SE companies return an error, not an empty list — these forms' share registers are private by law. Check the legal form first.
Percentages usually withheld	Where a shareholder graph is returned, exact ownership percentages usually aren't published — only identities. A flagged qualified-majority or majority-influence holding shows as 50%, a floor, not the true percentage.
Sole trader owns 100%	For a sole trader (egyéni vállalkozó), the shareholder graph lists the trader as sole 100% owner — no distinct owner exists in the register.
Signing authority not distinguished	The normalized officer role doesn't distinguish sole from joint signing authority — both map to the same value. Read the original role text or its English translation instead.
Accounts may arrive as a bundle	Annual-accounts documents aren't always one PDF: native PDF attachments merge into one, but a filing with anything else — e.g. a listed company's digital reporting package — comes back as a ZIP of the original files. Check the file type.
Period data without figures	Some fiscal periods return only period-level data — dates, whether audited, whether consolidated, employee count — with no balance-sheet or income-statement figures. This is normal for pre-digital-reporting filings and certain listed-issuer cover filings, not a failed extraction.

Glossary

Term	Meaning
`Hatályos`	The register's own word for an active company — its registration is currently in force.
`felszámolás alatt`	Under liquidation — a court-supervised insolvency wind-down.
`végelszámolás alatt`	Under voluntary liquidation — the company is winding down its own affairs, not through insolvency.
`kényszertörlés alatt`	Under compulsory strike-off — the register is deregistering the company on its own initiative.
`csődeljárás alatt`	In bankruptcy proceedings — under court-supervised reorganisation rather than liquidation.
`megszűnt`	Ceased — the company no longer exists.
`törölve`	Deleted — the company's registration has been struck from the register.
