"Ügyfélkapu", literally translated as "Client Gate" in Hungary, is a portal managed by the central government that provides access to e-administration. The Client Gate (or "Ügyfélkapu" in Hungarian) is an access point to electronic public administration in Hungary. It allows you to handle administrative matters online or schedule appointments at public administration offices. Through the Client Gate, you can register your Hungarian company on the Company Gate, making it an essential part of the company formation process. Find more information here.
"Ügyfélkapu" is a gateway to electronic public administration, through which, as a private individual, you can:
Each user has their own inbox on the portal, where they can receive and view messages from authorities. Due to data protection, messages are not sent directly to your email.
The Client Gate also provides access to the Company Gate ("Cégkapu"), where you can manage matters related to your Hungarian company. The Company Gate is similar to the Client Gate but serves companies and relevant individuals (e.g., managing directors or accountants). Official electronic messages for your company are sent through this platform, and accountants submit reports to the tax authorities here. Access to the Company Gate, and thus to the Client Gate, is therefore essential.
Access to the e-Government portal can be obtained not only by Hungarian citizens but also by citizens of other countries. Registration is possible:
Click here to book an appointment for registration at a Hungarian government office. On the screen, first select „Ügycsoport“ (the second to last option: „Ügyfélkapu, E-ügyintézés“), then „Ügy“ (choose „Ügyfélkapu regisztráció“). Then select your preferred location by county and address, specify the desired date range, and provide your contact details. The system will then show you available appointments at your preferred location.
When registering for the Client Gate, you will be asked to present an identification document and provide an email address to which you will receive notifications from the platform. You will need to choose a username, and a password will be generated for you. After registration, the account must be activated within 5 days and the original password changed, otherwise the account will be deleted.
Obtaining a Client Gate in Hungary is free for everyone.
Registration usually takes approximately 15-20 minutes. If you register in person, there might be a waiting period depending on the location and time of your registration.
