In Hungary, a person’s address is part of their core data. Citizens have an address card to state where they live, while third country nationals have an accommodation slip. If you move to a new place, your data should be updated with the Immigration Office. Starting from this year, you can do that fully online.
Whether you are reporting the change of your address online or in person, you will need the following supporting documents:
If you are the owner of your new accommodation, you will have to sign the reporting form both as “landlord” and “applicant”.
The new accommodation slip you receive will not be the same “signed and stamped” document. Once your application is approved, you will receive a notification and you can download your updated document, which will contain a QR code that officials can scan and verify.
Old format accommodation slips remain valid until expiry, there is no need to apply for a new document just to get the QR code.
The official portal of the Hungarian Immigration Office is available to users at enterhungary.gov.hu. You probably already have an account, but if not, you need to register now. Once you have logged in, you can take a look at your cases. You will need to start a new case. For that, find the big green button labeled “new application” and click it.
From this list of case types, select “Announcement”, then choose “Notification of change of accommodation”.
On the next screen, you will see a number of fields where you can add your personal data. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk. When you are done, click “Save”, then proceed to the next tab where you can add further data about your residency and your accommodation. When you are done, click “Save” to proceed to the next tab. You can go back anytime to review the data you entered. If you want to change anything, click “Edit”.
Please note: You cannot complete the application in one sitting. After you have entered your data, a form will be generated which you must print and then your landlord must sign it. Then you can proceed to uploading the files.
On the tab labeled “File attachments”, you can upload the scanned copies of the documents listed above.
If you think all is correct and you have added every document, click the green button labeled “Submit application” at the bottom of the screen.
Once your application is processed, you will get to download your new accommodation slip with a QR code.

Children are not fully legally competent. They cannot make certain decisions for themselves, and as a result, they cannot sign documents: you, their parent must take action on their behalf.
