Köznyilvántartásban

Köznyilvántartásban refers to the public register or record-keeping system in Hungary. It encompasses various official registers maintained by the state to document significant legal facts and relationships concerning individuals and legal entities. The primary purpose of these registers is to provide legal certainty and transparency.

Key examples of registers falling under the umbrella of köznyilvántartásban include the civil registry (anyakönyv) which records births, marriages, and deaths. Another important system is the company register (cégnyilvántartás), which lists all registered companies, their legal status, and directors. Land registry (földhivatal) is also part of this system, documenting ownership and encumbrances on real estate. Furthermore, personal data registers, such as the personal data and address registry (személyi adat- és lakcímnyilvántartás), store essential information about citizens.

Access to information within these public registers is generally regulated. While certain data is publicly accessible to ensure transparency and facilitate legal transactions, other information is protected by privacy laws. The system is designed to be reliable and up-to-date, with official bodies responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the records. These registers serve as a fundamental pillar of the Hungarian legal and administrative system, underpinning many aspects of daily life and business.
