meghozatalát

Meghozatalát is a Hungarian noun form referring to the act or process of delivering, serving, or making documents and notices official to a person or party. In everyday use, it denotes the act of bringing information to someone in a way that gives legal effect or notice. The term is most often found in legal and administrative language, where official documents such as summonses, decisions, or other pertinent notices are formally conveyed to the intended recipient.

In practice, meghozatal can cover several methods of communication and delivery. In civil and administrative procedures, the service of documents is typically performed by authorized agents such as court bailiffs or designated authorities. Methods may include personal handover, delivery by post with acknowledgment of receipt, or other enrollment-based or legally sanctioned channels. The goal is to ensure that the recipient has knowledge of the matter and an opportunity to respond within prescribed time limits. If service is defective or incomplete, the procedure may be postponed, re-served, or otherwise adjusted to guarantee proper notice.

The term is formed from the verb meghozni, with meg- as a prefix and hozatal as the noun form related to bringing or delivering. The genitive form meghozatalát appears in sentences where the object of a verb is the act of delivery itself, such as when describing mandatory or required service, timelines connected to service, or references to the act within legal texts.
