Hungary Criminal Check - Candidate Guidance

How to Submit Your Criminal Check in Hungary

Step 1: Log In or Create Your Zinc Account

Once your employer requests a criminal check, you’ll need to log in to your Zinc account. If you don’t already have an account, you must create one. Once logged in, confirm the following details:

• Your full name (including name history if applicable)
• Your date of birth
• Your country of residence: Hungary
• Address history for the past 5 years
• Your consent

Step 2: Provide Your Personal Information

You will need to supply the following details to initiate the check:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Birth Date
• Specific Consent Form
  • The form can be filled out digitally; however, your signature should be wet (signed with a pen). Also, the letter must be signed by two witnesses and the witnesses' part can be filled by hand or digitally but the signature must be mandatorily wet (signature with a pen). The document should be clear scanned copy and not captured images.
• Passport/ID Copy
  • For Citizens:
    • Hungarian ID copy both sides (Szemelyi Azonosito: Recommended!)
    • Hungarian Passport (an expired copy is acceptable)
  • For Non-Citizens:
    • Passport copy or EU ID card both sides (an expired copy is acceptable)
    • Valid Hungarian Residence Permit
• Consent 

Step 3: Submit the Check on Zinc

Once all your information is provided, the check will be processed by our checking partner.

If something else is required or there is a discrepancy, our Customer Support team here at Zinc will contact you directly to get your application corrected or gather further information from you.

Step 4: Receive the Results of your Check

Upon completion of your criminal check, you will receive a notification to say the process is completed and the results will be available on your profile to view.
