Changing the form of a married name:
Since July 1, 2014, citizens’ births, marriages, deaths and divorces are not entered in paper registers but in the national Electronic Civil Registry System (hereinafter: EAK).
If the marriage did not take place in District VII, Budapest, and was concluded before July 1, 2014, the marriage record must be in the Electronic Civil Registry System (hereinafter: EAK). This is entered into the EAK by the competent registrar of the place of the marriage ; you need to request this from the registrar of the place of the marriage by email, via e-Papír or via Ügyfélkapu. If the marriage ended after July 1, 2014 (by divorce or the death of the spouse), the marriage with the divorce or the death of the spouse is already in the EAK.
In addition, the births of the husband and the wife must also be in the electronic civil registry system. You need to request this from the registrar of your place of birth by email, via e-Papír or via Ügyfélkapu. The record must be in the electronic civil registry system even if the marriage was dissolved or ended due to the death of one of the parties.
