How to verify a Hungarian company
Checking a Hungarian company before doing business with it is a straightforward process once you know which document answers which question. This page explains where registry data comes from, what the common document types contain, and what to look for when you run the check.

Source of record
Where Hungarian company data comes from
The Hungarian company register is maintained within the official company-registration framework, and the e-cégjegyzék portal is the online access point for it. Companies are entered by the court of registration, and the entries the law requires to be public become visible there.
That makes the register the base layer: whatever a commercial platform shows you, the official record is the source it is built on. When two sources disagree — an aggregator listing an old seat, a directory page that was never updated — the official entry is the one to trust, and the one to quote in a contract or an onboarding file.
Two practical consequences follow. First, the register is not a rating service; it records what was filed, not how well a company performs. Second, entries are filed at a point in time and amended later, so the date you read the record matters as much as the record itself. If a document has been printed, check when.
Searching by name, registration number, or tax number
The register accepts three search routes, and each has a use. Searching by company name is fine for a first look but can return several similar names, so check the seat and form before assuming a match. Searching by cégjegyzékszám is the most precise: a company registration number is unique and permanent. Searching by adószám is useful when a tax number is all you have, for instance from an invoice.
For ALPINERUS Kft., both 07-09-049527 and 32659871-2-07 lead to the same record. If you arrive with a name only, search it, then confirm the registration number you find against any number you were given — that comparison alone catches most misidentifications.
The company card: a quick identity snapshot
A cégkártya is a current-data summary document. It is the fastest way to confirm that a company exists, what form it takes, and where it is registered. What it does not do is give you the fuller picture: declared activities, capital, and representatives generally sit outside the card. If your check is simply whether a counterparty is real and reachable, the card answers it.

Statistical code and bank account also belong to the card's usual field set; they identify the company for tax and payment purposes but say nothing about its activity scope.
The registry extract: when you need more
A cégkivonat contains the company's current registry entries and can include declared activities, registered capital, and representatives. This is the document to request when you are onboarding a supplier, preparing a contract that needs signatory details, or running vállalati átvilágítás — corporate due diligence.
The difference from the card is depth, not validity: both reflect current data, but the extract is the fuller record. As a rule, if you need to know who may sign for the company, you need the extract. If you need to know what the company is allowed to trade in, you need the extract too — activity scope is not something the card settles.
Before you request one, decide which of those two questions you are actually answering. Extract requests carry an administrative cost and a turnaround time, and asking for the fuller document when the card would do is a common waste on first checks.
Which document
Company card
Identity confirmation. Name, form, seat, tax number, statistical code, bank account.
Registry extract
Due diligence. Declared activities, registered capital, representatives.
Company data and registry details
Registered capital and what it does not prove
Jegyzett tőke, registered capital, is a standard field in fuller registry documents and shows the company's formal capitalisation. It is often checked, and it is worth understanding its limits.
Registered capital is a formal figure recorded at registration and amended through the registry process; it is not a running account balance and it does not tell you how a company manages its money day to day. A company can carry a modest registered figure and still settle its invoices on time, or a larger one and still be slow. Treat it as one formal data point among several, useful for context rather than as a verdict on financial health.
The same caution applies to any single field on an extract. Read the record as a set: capital, activity scope, representatives and seat together describe the company better than any one line pulled out of it.
Change history and why it matters
Registry data is not static. Companies change seats, representatives, and activity scope, and some business databases preserve earlier or deleted entries alongside the current ones. That history is genuinely useful: it shows whether a company has been stable or has shifted its details recently, and it helps you understand continuity when a counterparty has been trading for years.
If you are evaluating a long-term relationship, comparing the current entry with the historical one is a reasonable extra step. Two patterns are worth noticing. A seat change that follows a growth step usually reads as routine housekeeping. A cluster of changes in a short window — seat, representative and activity all moving at once — is a reason to ask what happened, not a reason to walk away on its own.
Keep a copy of what you compared and the date you compared it. Verification is only useful if you can show later what the record said when the decision was made.
Risk indicators: decision support, not truth
Some commercial company-search platforms attach a risk rating to a company, summarising potential business risk in a simple format. These indicators supplement official registry data; they do not replace it. A rating is a summary produced by a private provider, based on its own model, and it can be useful as a screening signal before you spend time on a full check.
Screening order
- A rating narrows where you look.
- The registry entry tells you what is filed.
- The documents decide what you sign.
It should not be the only thing you act on. For a first pass, indicators are convenient; for a decision, go back to the registry documents. A low rating on a thin data set can be as misleading as a high one on a company whose filings are simply old.

Questions that come up during a check
What is the difference between a cégkártya and a cégkivonat?
The cégkártya is a current-data summary: name, form, seat, tax number, statistical code, and bank account. The cégkivonat is fuller and can include declared activities, registered capital, and representatives. Use the card for identity confirmation, the extract for due diligence.
Can I verify a company using only its tax number?
Yes. The Hungarian company register accepts a tax number as a search key. A company registration number is more precise because it is unique and permanent, but either identifier returns the company record.
Does a risk rating replace registry data?
No. Risk ratings are produced by private platforms and summarise potential risk. They supplement official registry data and are best treated as a screening signal, not a final answer.
How do I check whether a company has changed recently?
Compare the current registry entry with historical or archived data where a database preserves it. Some platforms keep earlier and deleted entries, which shows whether seats, representatives, or activities have shifted.
Still unclear
