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
- 15,000–35,000 HUF
- Indicative price; it depends on the car and the business.
- Typical duration
- 1 h
- How often
- Every time you buy a used car and, usually, before an imported car is first registered.
How to choose a business in Budapest
- Ask for a written price before the job and what it covers: labour, parts, materials.
- Compare it with the typical range of 15,000–35,000 HUF. A price far below it deserves one more question.
- Ask what warranty you get and keep the invoice: without it, a warranty is hard to prove.
- Check the address and opening hours on the business's profile and confirm them before you set off. These details change.
