Hitelesítve

Hitelesítve is the past participle of the Hungarian verb hitelesíteni, meaning that something has been authenticated or certified by an authorized person or institution. It indicates that the item, statement, or data has been verified as genuine, accurate, or in compliance with formal requirements, and thus carries official credibility or evidentiary value.

In legal and administrative practice, hitelesítés is the process by which a document or statement is certified as a true copy or as a legally valid act. A certified copy, or hiteles másolat, is produced by a competent authority such as a notary public (közjegyző) or another official entity. When a document is described as hitelesítve, it typically means that the authority has attested its authenticity, often by applying a stamp, seal, or signature.

In digital contexts, hitelesítés refers to mechanisms that verify authenticity and integrity of electronic records. This includes electronic signatures created with qualified certificates issued by trusted certification authorities, and the use of time stamps to prove when a document was authenticated. Digital hitelesítés aims to ensure that online transactions and communications have comparable validity to their paper counterparts.

Overall, the term emphasizes that verification has taken place by an appropriate authority, giving the document or data formal credibility, reliability, and legal weight in relevant contexts.
