közokiratot

Közokirat is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "public document." It refers to a written instrument that is created and certified by a public authority or a person authorized by law to do so, in accordance with specific formal requirements. The primary characteristic of a közokirat is its evidentiary value. It is presumed to be true and accurate regarding its content, the date of its creation, and the identity of the parties involved, unless proven otherwise through a legal process.

The creation of a közokirat typically involves a public official, such as a notary public, a registrar, or a court clerk, who verifies the facts and statements contained within the document and attests to their authenticity. Common examples of közokirat include birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, court judgments, land registry entries, and deeds of sale prepared by a notary. These documents serve as official proof of important legal events, rights, and obligations. The presumption of truth associated with közokirat simplifies legal proceedings and provides a reliable basis for transactions and decision-making. However, it is important to note that this presumption is rebuttable, meaning that a party can challenge the validity or accuracy of a közokirat in court.
