Végbizonyítvány

Végbizonyítvány, literally translating to "final certificate," is a document used in Hungary to certify that a defined process, project, or phase has been completed in accordance with applicable contractual, technical, and legal requirements. It serves as formal acknowledgment that the specified work or activity has reached its intended end point and meets relevant criteria.

The term is most commonly encountered in construction and infrastructure projects, where a végbizonyítvány may confirm that works comply with design documentation, applicable codes, and quality standards, and that contractual obligations have been fulfilled. It is also used in professional education and training contexts to certify the successful completion of a course or program, and, in some public procurement settings, to attest that contractual terms have been satisfied.

A typical végbizonyítvány includes several standard elements: the parties involved, a description of the project or process, references to the applicable standards, codes, and contract terms, results of tests or inspections, any reservations or non-conformities, the completion date, and the signatures of the issuer and recipient. The exact content and format can vary by context and issuing body.

Issuance and authority depend on the context; the document may be issued by a contractor, project supervisor, a licensed professional, an employer, or a regulatory authority. In construction, obtaining a végbizonyítvány is often a prerequisite for subsequent steps such as project handover, commissioning, or the granting of related permits.

Legal status and impact vary by context. A végbizonyítvány provides formal confirmation of completion, but it does not automatically waive warranties or guarantees, and it may be subject to revision if later non-conformities are discovered.
