lakcímét

lakcímét is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "address" or "place of residence" in English. It refers to the official location where an individual lives and is registered. In Hungary, having a registered lakcímét is a fundamental requirement for various civic and administrative purposes, including voting, receiving mail, accessing healthcare, and obtaining certain social benefits.

The lakcímét typically includes details such as the street name, house number, city, and postal code. It is recorded in official government databases. Changes to one's lakcímét must be formally reported to the relevant authorities within a specified timeframe after moving. This process ensures that individuals can be easily located for legal and administrative matters and that public services are allocated efficiently based on population distribution. Failure to maintain an accurate lakcímét can lead to administrative penalties or difficulties in accessing essential services. The concept emphasizes the importance of a stable and officially recognized residence for an individual's integration into the community and their rights and responsibilities as a citizen.
