The law introducing the Beneficiary Registry came into force in Hungary in June 2017. The deadline for its entry into force was set as January 1, 2019.

The Hungarian government claims that there is currently no definite date for the entry into force of the register of beneficiaries and it is impossible to predict that date at this time.
However, there is a list of necessary information about the beneficiary that must be included in the registry in the future: Full name, date and place of birth, citizenship, postal address, the basis for recognizing the person as the beneficiary, indicating his share in the company, the affiliation of the beneficiary to politically exposed persons.
