AVDH authentication step-by-step


Identification Based Document Authentication (AVDH) service enables you to electronically authenticate your documents and declarations, if you are a registered user of the Gateway Portal (“Ügyfélkapu”). The AVDH service certified pdf documentation sent via e-mail is equivalent to original documents and forms presented in person or sent via postal services to our offices.

AVDH enables fund members without an electronic signature, who previously submitted hand-signed documents in person or by post, to send authenticated documents to the fund directly by e-mail.

According to legal regulations, a significant part of the required statements can only be submitted with the signatures of respective members. AVDH certified documents are considered private documents with the same evidential value as the original documents, they “replace” the physical signature.

AVDH authentication step-by-step
  1. Please fill in the procedure specific pdf form and save it to your computer. Please make sure to fill in all the spaces with no exceptions.
  2. Authenticate your document via this page. Authentication is to be done exclusively by the legitimate signatory. If the procedure requires more than one signatory, each must authenticate the document separately. Please note, all certified copies en masse, will be equivalent to a document signed by all required parties. The authenticated document(s) can be sent to the Fund via e-mail.
