Citizenship by birth

What

Children can get Hungarian citizenship by birth without any further procedure.

Who

  • children of Hungarian parents (the place of birth doesn’t matter)
  • stateless person’s child who was born in Hungary
  • Children were find in the territory of Hungary and the parents are unknown

How

The process is automatic. In case of unknown parents and stateless parents the child get Hungarian citizenship until other citizenship will be proven (e.g. the country of origin of the parent recognize the child as a citizen).

Citizenship for children can be given based on family law: judicial verdict about paternity or motherhood, full father’s recognition, subsequent marriage of the parents.
