engedélykötött

engedélykötött is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "licensed" or "requiring a permit" in English. It describes an activity, profession, or item that is subject to official authorization or permission from a governmental or regulatory body. The term implies that undertaking such an activity without the necessary permit is illegal.

Many sectors of the economy and aspects of daily life in Hungary are engedélykötött. Examples include operating a business, constructing a building, driving a motor vehicle, or even certain types of professional practice like medicine or law. The specific requirements and issuing authorities for these permits vary widely depending on the nature of the activity.

The purpose of requiring a permit is generally to ensure public safety, protect the environment, maintain standards, or regulate economic activities. Obtaining an engedélykötött permit often involves meeting specific criteria, submitting an application, paying fees, and undergoing inspections. The process aims to ensure that only qualified individuals or entities are allowed to perform certain actions or offer specific services. Failure to obtain the required permit can result in fines, sanctions, or other legal consequences.
