Vehicle Homologation in Hungary

DriveSino manages the full homologation process to get your imported vehicle road-legal in Hungary — from confirming whether it already qualifies for EU type approval, to coordinating individual approval if it doesn't.

Who Handles Homologation in Hungary

Local process name

Egyedi Jóváhagyás

Responsible authority

Government Window / Central Office for Administrative and Electronic Public Services

Hungary requires a valid EU type approval or individual approval before registration — assessed against national rule KöHÉM 6/1990 where no EU/UN type approval applies — with a technical test station check as the first practical step.

Customs clearance, type approval, and emissions certification are handled by separate authorities — we coordinate all of them to avoid a car sitting unregistered.

Homologation in Hungary — FAQ

Do I need homologation to register an imported car in Hungary?

Yes, unless your vehicle already has valid EU type approval and a Certificate of Conformity. Otherwise, Hungary requires individual vehicle approval before registration.

How long does homologation take in Hungary?

It depends on your specific vehicle and whether EU type approval already applies. Contact us for a realistic timeline once we know your vehicle.

Can DriveSino homologate a car that isn't from China?

Yes. We manage individual vehicle approval in Hungary for imports from South Korea, the United States, Japan, and other non-EU markets, not just China.

Is homologation the same as customs clearance in Hungary?

No — they're separate. Customs clearance covers import duties and VAT; homologation certifies the vehicle meets Hungary's technical and safety standards for registration. Both are needed for an imported vehicle.
