By now, you must have contacted the Hungarian authorities, what you need to do to have your license naturalised. Please come in the office in the opening hours and bring in the following documents to our office for your registration:
- Your passport or ID card
- Your address card and residency card
- Your original driver’s license
- The official translation of your license
- The official document that the Central Office sent you
- Your medical certificate
The process of your naturalisation is the following:
- You have to pay a registration fee, which is 7000 Forints
- If you only need a theory exam, we’ll do the registration process for you to the exam. – The theory exam costs 4600 Forints.
- Although it is not obligatory to subscribe for a theoretical course, we firmly advise you to do so in order to pass the exam. – This costs 27000 Forints.
- You can try the theory exam as many times you need to pass. If you only need this exam, after you pass, you can go to the authorities to get your Hungarian driver’s license.
- However we only have English speaking instructors, the theory exam is available in German and Romanian as well for the same cost above.
- If you need a practical exam as well, you can start the driving classes approximately 2 weeks after your theoretical exam (the reason for the wait is the processing time of the official documents needed for the driving classes and exam. Also, the driving instructor needs time to adjust their time table for your classes)
- Although it is not obligatory to have driving classes before the practical exam, we require you to take at least 5 classes beforehand. We made this regulation for the safety of our instructors and examiners and for the sake of your successful exam. You may be able to drive a car, but the requirements of the exam are very specific and strict. Also, take in consideration that all the commands must be in Hungarian as the examiners can’t speak English. Our instructors will give you the full range of knowledge you need to pass the exam. The classes cost 10000 Forints each for a 50 minutes class, the exam costs 11000 Forints each. You also need to pay for one class.
- When you pass the practical exam, you’re all set, you can go to the authorities to get your Hungarian licence.
