Átiratai

Átiratai is a Hungarian term that translates most directly to "transcripts" or "copies of documents" in English. It generally refers to official or authenticated duplicates of original written materials. These documents can range from personal records like birth certificates and diplomas to legal agreements and property deeds.

The purpose of an átirat is to provide a verifiable record that is equivalent to the original for practical purposes. This often involves a formal process where a designated authority or institution stamps, signs, or otherwise certifies that the copy accurately reflects the content of the original. This certification lends credibility and legal standing to the átirat, allowing it to be used in situations where the original document might be required but cannot be presented, such as for applications, legal proceedings, or administrative tasks.

In Hungary, the generation of átiratai is governed by specific regulations depending on the type of document and the issuing body. For instance, official translations of documents from other languages often require a special stamp from the Országos Fordító- és Fordításhitelesítő Iroda (OFFI) to be considered an átirat. Similarly, academic institutions provide átiratai for diplomas and academic records. The concept is crucial for maintaining the integrity and accessibility of important records within the Hungarian legal and administrative systems.
