What is a governmental client gateway (Ügyfélkapu)?
The client gateway is an electronic governmental identification system that provides users with a single entry to contact different e-government service providers. The client gate can be established by anybody, regardless of nationality.
Which kind of applications can be submitted at the Consulate?
- initiating the opening of the first client gateway (which was not preceded by temporary online registration),
- deleting previous client gateway,
- modifying the data of an already existing client gateway.
If you have already set up a temporary online client gateway, there are two options:
- delete/ unregister the online temporary client gateway, or
- do nothing and wait 30 days for the registration to cease, and then apply at the Consulate for registering a client gateway.
Applications can be submitted only in person by prior appointment. Appointments can be made through our online booking system by clicking the button below:
When booking, please select the “Ügyfélkapu” or the “Registration for online government services” case type.
The required documents and conditions:
- valid passport or identity card
- valid email address
The registration of governmental client gateway is free of charge.
Following the registration, the client gateway system sends an automatic one-time activation code to the applicant’s email address, which is valid for 5 days. You can use this code to create your own password. After 5 days, the applicant can request a new activation code within 60 days using the "forgotten password/ elfelejetett jelszó" function. Otherwise, the registration data will be deleted.
During activation, the applicant must enter username and a new password, which is valid for a maximum of two years (a shorter validity period can also be set).
After creating password, the full range of governmental services is available through the client gateway customer portal.
