Honosítanak

Honosítanak is a Hungarian verb meaning "they naturalize" or "they grant citizenship" in the context of acquiring citizenship by naturalization. It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb honosítani. The related noun is honosítás, which refers to the act of naturalization.

In legal and administrative language, honosítanak describes actions by authorities when non-citizens are granted Hungarian citizenship through the naturalization process. Naturalization is a statutory route to obtain citizenship and typically requires meeting certain criteria established by law, such as lawful residence in Hungary for a specified period, knowledge of Hungarian, and integration into society. The exact requirements, processing times, and exemptions have changed with legislation over time. The competent state authority examines eligibility and issues a naturalization decree if the applicant qualifies.

Dual citizenship: Hungary generally allows dual citizenship in many cases, so an applicant may retain their previous nationality, subject to relations with the other country and current law. The status granted by naturalization provides full Hungarian citizenship and associated rights and duties.

Related terms include honosítás (naturalization), állampolgárság (citizenship), and honosítási eljárás (naturalization procedure).
