Vehicle origin check
In Hungary, the origin check (eredetiségvizsgálat) is required when a used car changes owner and, in most cases, before a car brought in from another country is registered. An authorised centre compares the chassis number, the engine number and the car's documents with the databases and photographs the car, to catch stolen cars or altered numbers. The fee has a few tiers, by vehicle category.
- Typical price

- Indicative price; it depends on the car and the business.
- Typical duration

- How often
