Company registration paper

In Hungary's climate of insane bureaucracy, if anyone needs to get anything done officially like opening a bank account, one needs to have a copy of your company registration paper (cegkivonat) not older than 30 days.

Considering a  normal one can cost 5000-6000 forint from the Business Registry Court (cegbirosag), and one signed and stamped by a notary public up to twice that, this can add up fast. However, here is a little-known and cheaper alternative to getting it from the Business Court - the Vallalkozok es Munkataltok Orszagos Szovetsege (VOSZ). Best of all, it takes about 5 minutes and no lines. Bring your company stamp, 3000 forint, and your business regsitration number (cegjegyesszam). If you need it notarised by a notary public (kozhiteles), they are not able to do this - but you can seek out a nearby notary public to stamp and sign what they give you. VSZOP is open 9-15 M-F, Terez krt. 38, 1st floor, room 118.
