If the applicant's previous valid passport was stolen: official record from the Police on his/her report on the stolen document is required.

Citizens of EU- and EEA-member states so as citizens of the following states may travel to Hungary without a visa. Family members of citizens of EEA Member States may also travel to Hungary without a visa if they received a residence card issued for family members of EEA citizens or a residence permit issued by any Schengen Member State.

Legalisation of signatures:
Legalisation of a signature means that the consul establishes the veracity of the signature only, and not of the document, for which the Consular Section bears no responsibility. The document will have to be prepared by you personally in advance. In order to attest the veracity of your signature, you need to come to the Consular Section in person, and present an identification document such as your valid passport and any household bill (e.g. electricity bill) or financial statement, or property lease or tenancy agreement showing your name and current address.
