Getting Hungarian Translation Right

Native Hungarian translators. Hungarian is a Uralic language, unrelated to the languages around it, with around 18 grammatical cases and meaning built from suffixes. Your project goes to a native Hungarian speaker matched to your subject.

Family name first. Hungarian writes the family name before the given name (Bartók Béla = Béla Bartók). We make the name order clear and match your passport.

Married names and birth names. Documents may show forms like Kovács Jánosné ("wife of János Kovács") along with the birth name and the mother's birth name. We translate every name field accurately and can add an explanatory note.

Dates, numbers, and accents. We convert year–month–day dates and decimal commas, and keep the double-acute ő and ű in names exactly as written.

Any format, including scans and photos. For certified documents, a clear scan or phone photo is enough. We translate every stamp, seal, and handwritten note.

Certified Hungarian to English Translation for USCIS and Immigration

Every Hungarian-language document filed with USCIS needs a complete English translation and a signed translator certification (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required. We also translate for IRCC (Canada), UK, and Australian immigration, universities, and employers — including Hungarian-language documents issued in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine.
 

Multi-page documents receive lower per-page rates. Hungary is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention — if your document carries an apostille, we translate it too.

Every certified translation includes: complete translation of text, stamps, and annotations; name order, married names, birth names, and mother's names rendered clearly; dates converted correctly; the signed Translation Accuracy Certificate; 24-hour delivery for most 1–2 page documents; and the USCIS acceptance guarantee.

English to Hungarian Translation for Hungarian Citizenship and Use in Hungary

Many Hungarian Americans and Canadians apply for Hungarian citizenship through simplified naturalization, which is open to descendants of Hungarian citizens who speak Hungarian. Others need records accepted in Hungary to register a birth or marriage, to inherit or buy property, or to move to Hungary.

We translate US and Canadian birth, marriage, divorce, death, and naturalization certificates, name change documents, powers of attorney, and company documents into Hungarian — and translate the ancestor's Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, or Serbian records when they're needed.

Before you order: within Hungary, many authorities require a certified translation (hiteles fordítás), mostly issued by OFFI, the state translation office. Some offices — and many consulates handling citizenship cases — accept other translations, sometimes with an apostille on the original. Confirm with the consulate or office handling your case, and we'll prepare the translation to fit.

Hungarian Genealogy and Historic Records

Hungarian family history often leads to towns that are now in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Ukraine, Croatia, or Austria. Depending on the period and religion, records may be written in:

• Latin — common in Catholic and many Protestant parish registers until the mid-19th century
• Hungarian — increasingly from the 19th century, and in state civil registers from 1895
• German — in many towns and in Jewish community records
• Hebrew, Yiddish, Romanian, Slovak, or Serbian — depending on the community and region

We give both the historic Hungarian name and today's official name of each town (Kolozsvár / Cluj-Napoca, Kassa / Košice), and note surname changes, which were common in the 19th and 20th centuries. We translate baptisms, marriages, deaths, emigration records, and letters — including handwritten entries. Send a scan and we'll quote based on length and legibility.
