felhatalmazásra

Felhatalmazásra is a Hungarian term used to denote the act or condition of authorizing someone to act on behalf of another person or entity. It describes the empowerment to make decisions or perform tasks within a defined scope. The word derives from felhatalmazás (empowerment, authorization) with the suffix -ra, which marks direction or purpose in Hungarian grammar. In everyday and legal usage, felhatalmazásra often appears in phrases such as “felhatalmazásra van szükség” (authorization is required) or “felhatalmazás alapján” (on the basis of the authorization).

Use and scope:

Felhatalmazás can be granted in written form or, in some contexts, verbally, though official acts and significant decisions typically require written authorization to serve as proof of authority. It can be temporary or lasting, and it may be revocable or, less commonly, irrevocable depending on the agreement or legal framework. In corporate settings, a manager or representative may act “felhatalmazás alapján” by virtue of a mandate from owners or the board. In public administration, authorities may confer powers to agencies or officials through formal authorization.

Relation to related terms:

The concept is related to meghatalmazás (power of attorney) and delegáció (delegation), but felhatalmazás is broader and can cover a range of empowerment beyond a formal written mandate. While meghatalmazás often denotes a specific written mandate to act on another’s behalf, felhatalmazás emphasizes the conferment of authority in a broader sense and may appear in both formal and informal contexts. The exact meaning depends on the legal or contractual context.
