Hungary’s government has approved the National Digital Citizenship Programme aimed at creating the conditions for simple, convenient and efficient administration, the Digital Hungary Agency said on Friday.
The uniform digital environment ensured by the programme streamlines communication between government bodies and citizens, the agency told MTI.
The programme is aimed at creating public administration spaces that are accessible online at any given time and suitable for managing any administrative needs that can be handled in person.

The programme’s founding document puts the main focus on digital citizenship, the agency said, adding that it also covers the utilisation of national data assets and the application of cloud technology.
By the end of the first strategic phase set for 2026, people will be able to handle almost all matters relating to public administration online, the agency said. The development of the most important services will begin as early as 2023, they added.

Would be nice if at least the English language mirror site works properly. Getting very tired of all the assist requests navigating the Ügyfélkapu portal… In all fairness to foreigners who are in some way in our administrative system, getting anything done is almost undo-able for the s//t official translations and terminology.
Concur Hans Kleinsman.
English translation of documentation in Hungary, especially Government documentation, mailed or by electronic data like Email – remains still non-existent in Hungary.
Dealing with the Immigration Department of the Hungarian Government, all documentation received from them, even though you appear present yourself before them rather than on-line residency permit application, telling them you don’t speak, read nor write Hungarian – they dismiss totally COMMUNICATING with you in my case in English.
Appalling – and wish I was of an Asian background they do in my numerous fronting visiting the Budafoki Department of Immigration of Hungary – blatantly receive preferential attention than I being of my primary language English.
We have lived in Budapest, Hungary just on 5 years under the Residency Permit arrangement that gives just 2 years of residency – and we are RETIRED aged over 60 & 70 – very self financially independent, then ALL through the application AGAIN procedures you go.
Hungary attention to communication response communication in English needed as we are in the 21st century and facilities in information technology, is AVAILABLE to communicate in English.
I have a feeling it will give the goverment more chances to bombard you with goverment self-righteousness how they make a mess of everything but it is someone or some other reason why something did or doesn’t work.
I still get emails from the goverment regarding when we had to register for the covid jabs. It is blood disgusting and I can’t block it..ok it ends up in junk email but still there we go..
