The power of attorney
Directive (EU) 2025/25 in Hungary: transposition status
Where Hungary stands on transposing the digital EU power of attorney and EU Company Certificate rules — what is verified, what applies regardless, and what companies in Hungary should do.
Status: Unknown — nothing notified, nothing verified. On the EUR-Lex national-transposition record, Hungary shows no communicated measures for Directive (EU) 2025/25 as of our last check [EUR-Lex transposition notifications for Dir. 2025/25Official data], and we have not found or verified any transposing measure in the national official gazette. Unknown means unchecked or not yet existing.
The dates that bind Hungary regardless
These come from the Directive itself and do not depend on national action:
| Date | What | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| by 31 July 2027 | Hungary must adopt and publish its transposing measures | [Directive (EU) 2025/25, Art. 4(1)] |
| from 31 July 2028 | Hungary must apply them: EU Company Certificate issuance, digital EU power of attorney, no apostille on in-scope documents, the 15-working-day filing rule, partnership disclosure | Arts. 16b–16d, 15, 14a insertions; Art. 4(2) |
| 1 August 2028 / 2029 | Later dates for group-of-companies information via the register interconnection | [Directive (EU) 2025/25, Art. 4(3)] |
National law must cite the Directive when the transposing measure is officially published [Directive (EU) 2025/25, Art. 4(4)]. That requirement is how this page will catch it.
What companies in Hungary should do
Nothing is obliged yet. What is worth doing now — checking your register entries, mapping who may act for you, ignoring premature "compliance" offers — is the same in every Member State and is set out in What to do, by when. The EU-wide instruments themselves are covered in the power of attorney explainer and the certificate explainer.
How this page gets updated
The weekly source pass re-checks the EUR-Lex transposition record (updated weekly by the Publications Office) [EUR-Lex transposition notifications for Dir. 2025/25Official data]. When Hungary notifies measures, this page reports it within days — and moves to "verified" only once we have read the measure in the national official gazette. If you know of a published Hungary measure we have missed, send the gazette reference to hello@eudipoa.com. The full 27-country picture: the transposition table.
