Hungarian Government Announces Changes to Digital Authentication Services
Single-factor Ügyfélkapu access will be discontinued by 2025, prompting users to adopt new identification methods.
The Hungarian government has announced forthcoming changes to its digital authentication services, as stipulated by the 2023 Digital Administration Act.
Effective January 16, 2025, the single-factor Ügyfélkapu identification method will be phased out, compelling users to switch to the enhanced Ügyfélkapu+ identification or the Digital Citizen mobile application.
This transition affects several government and public service platforms, including the Magyar Posta's ÉnPostám online services.
The postal service, in a recent statement, emphasized the need for users to adopt the new identification methods to ensure uninterrupted access to these services beyond the 2025 deadline.
To facilitate this change, Ügyfélkapu users can upgrade their authentication settings by selecting the Ügyfélkapu+ option on the platform.
Alternatively, they can register for the Digital Citizen application, which provides a robust digital identification solution and is outlined in detail on the government's dap.gov.hu website.
Registrations can be completed at governmental service centers or online.
Further support and information can be accessed through the Central Authentication Agent's website, online customer service, or by calling the Hungarian government's contact center at 1818. This initiative is part of a broader shift towards more secure digital solutions, aligning with global trends in digital service security and user verification.
