Közokiraté

Közokiraté is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "public document" or "official document." It refers to a written instrument that is authenticated by a public authority or a person entrusted with public authority, such as a notary public, a court clerk, or a government official. The authenticity and legal validity of a közokiraté are generally presumed.

The purpose of a közokiraté is to provide reliable and indisputable proof of the facts or statements it contains. These documents are created in accordance with specific legal procedures and often require the presence of the parties involved and witnesses. Examples of közokiraté include birth certificates, marriage certificates, property deeds, court judgments, and notarial deeds.

The legal effect of a közokiraté is significant. It serves as strong evidence in legal proceedings and can be used to establish rights, obligations, and legal statuses. In many cases, a közokiraté is considered definitive proof of its contents, meaning its accuracy is not easily challenged. If a party wishes to dispute the contents of a közokiraté, they typically bear the burden of proving its inaccuracy, which is a high legal standard to meet. The specific requirements and legal weight of a közokiraté can vary depending on the nature of the document and the relevant Hungarian laws.
