Apostille process for graduate students

In Hungary, obtaining an Apostille for a document to be used internationally involves a two-step process for certain documents. First, the document needs to be authenticated by the relevant Hungarian authority, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, or in some cases, the Office of Education. Then, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues the Apostille certificate, which verifies the signature and seal on the document. 

The attestation of the validity of degrees obtained in Hungarian higher education institutions and other certificates issued by the institutions falls within the competence of the Consultation Office of the Educational Authority.

If you wish to attain the interim authentication stamp for your higher education qualification, you need to bring your qualification to the Consultation Office of the Education Authority during office hours (https://www.oktatas.hu/kepesitesek_elismertetese/english/contact_information).

Address: Budapest XII. Maros u. 19-21
Their office hours are the following:
Monday-Thursday: 8.00-16.30
Fridays: 8.00 - 14:00
Phone: (+36-1) 374-2100
E-mail info@oh.gov.hu

Please note that they are only able to authenticate documents that contain the original stamp and signatures of the issuing higher education institution; consequently, they can only stamp and sign the original documents or their copies certified by the issuing higher education institution.

It is not possible to conduct the authentication procedure by mail; thus, they request that you or a person representing you (no formal authorization is necessary) bring the documents to the Consultation Office in person during office hours. Please be aware that a prior appointment is mandatory!

An administrative service fee of 5,000 HUF per signature must be paid for the intermediate legalisation procedure. 

The Education Authority’s competence is the interim authentication, following which the stamped documents should be submitted in person by you or by an authorized person to the Consular and Nationality Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade during office hours.

The issuing of the Hague Apostille, thus the international authentication of Hungarian documents, falls within the competence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

(Address: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade – „E” Building, 1027 Budapest, Nagy Imre tér 4.)
Their office hours are the following:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays: 9.00 – 12.00.
On Fridays, it is only possible to pick up documents.

The fee of the apostil stamp is 5500 HUF per document, which should be paid when submitting the documents to the Consular and Nationality Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Management of Finances on Neptun

In the Neptun Net System students have to transfer money to the collective account
of the University in order to make payments.
The university's bank account information:

Please be aware that this is only a transmitting body, you need to complete the
payment in the Neptun system.

After this, announced items can be payed on the student web under the menu item
’’payments’’.

Attention! Even though the remitted amount of money appears on your balance on
Neptun, it will not neccessarily mean that you have already accomplished the required
transaction.

Firstly, you have to order the actual payment be done on Neptun under the adequate
menu item ( IV fee, costs of special procedure, tuition fee etc.) in order to settle your
remittance.

You can find information on how to use the system in the file on the Neptun website
