Things to know about getting married
We have collected the most important information about getting married from magyarorszag.hu:
Administration needs to be done in person.
Eligibility
Marrying parties: one man and one woman, they have full legal capacity and they must be at least 16 years of age
Getting married
The marriage takes place in the presence of the best man and the maid of honour in public, in the office of the local government.
Immediately prior to getting married, the registrar re-examines whether there is a legal impediment to the marriage and whether the legal preconditions exist.
Az anyakönyvvezető a házasság megkötését közvetlenül megelőzően ismételten vizsgálja, hogy a házasságkötésnek nincs-e törvényi akadálya, és fennállnak-e a törvényes előfeltételek.
Az anyakönyvvezető előbb az egyik, majd a másik házasulónak külön-külön név szerint felteszi a kérdést: kijelenti-e, hogy a jelen lévő másik féllel házasságot köt?
The registrar first asks one person by name, then the other: Does he/she declare that he/she is marrying the other party present? If both marrying parties answer „yes” to the question asked, the registrar declares that the parties, called by their married name, are husband and wife in accordance with the Act on: Civil code
Interpreter
If the couple or the best man/maid of honour does not speak Hungarian and the registrar does not understand the foreign language spoken by the couple or the best man/maid of honour, an interpreter can help.
The couple is responsible for providing an interpreter
Declaring intention to get married
Prior to the marriage, the couple must declare to the registrar that there is no legal impediment to their marriage and they must prove that the legal conditions for their marriage are met.
The couple together declare their intention to marry, in person, and the registrar draws up a record and then the couple signs it.
Entering into marriage
A marriage occurs when a man and a woman present together declare in person to the registrar that they marry each other. The declaration is not be subject to any condition or time limit.
After the mutual declaration, the registrar confirms the marriage and enters the fact of the marriage in the civil registry.
If a non-Hungarian citizen wishes to marry in Hungary, he or she must prove that there are no obstacles to the marriage under personal right. The registry office may grant an exemption from having the certificate in justified cases.

The best man/maid of honour shall be an adult who has proper capacity. The couple is responsible for having a best man and a maid of honour.

The registrar may only set a date for getting married thirty days after the announcement of the intention to marry. The registrar sets the date of the marriage after consultation with the couple.

Reviews / references
Interpretation by a certified interpreter
Thalia and Balázs recently got married and I was honoured to be able to interpret at the wedding ceremony.
If one of the parties is a non-Hungarian citizen, an interpreter with an interpreter's certificate is required for the marriage.
During a month and a half of a project related to an overhaul of an industrial turbine, it was refreshing to be part of such a rare and touching moment.
Thalia + Balázs- I wish you every happiness!
