About Honorary Consulate of Hungary In Honolulu, Hawaii, The United States

The main duty of honorary consuls of Hungary is to provide guidance to Hungarian citizens in distress and offer assistance in case of emergency. They are not employed by the Hungarian government, they perform their work on a voluntary basis, and they have only limited consular authority. For example, while they are authorized to authenticate signatures and copies of documents, they are not able to accept passport or visa applications. Because they typically practice their consular office alongside a main profession, they are not always present or immediately available by phone. The honorary consul will refer you further to the competent Hungarian foreign mission if he himself cannot assist.
