The Hungarian Civil Notary Public System, established in 1874, is a cornerstone of the country’s legal framework, ensuring the authenticity and enforceability of legal documents and transactions. Civil notaries in Hungary act as impartial professionals authorized by the state to prevent disputes by certifying agreements, wills, contracts, and other vital documents. They oversee the execution of legal acts, provide advice within their jurisdiction, and maintain public records. Emphasizing trust, neutrality, and legal certainty, the system plays a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens’ rights in private and commercial matters.
On December 12, 2024, the Hungarian National Bank will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the system's establishment by issuing two special coins: a 15,000 HUF silver coin and a 3,000 HUF base-metal version. This anniversary celebrates the system's enduring contributions to Hungary’s legal and social stability. Despite changes over the years, such as state control in 1949 and its reestablishment as a chamber-governed body after the regime change, the system continues to adapt, embracing modern developments like digitalization. Recognized for their expertise and adherence to high ethical standards, Hungarian notaries remain integral to fostering trust, impartiality, and legal security in society.
