Registering foreign life events within the Hungarian Civil Registry is done by the Government Office of the Capital City of Budapest.
You can initiate the registration of a life event with a registrar in Hungary relative to your residence, or a competent consular officer abroad.
You can find which consular district your state belongs to here (USA only).

Appointments can be booked directly through our online booking system. https://konzinfobooking.mfa.gov.hu
