The 1818 phone number can be used to get official information on almost all administrative matters.
In Hungary, it is not always easy to navigate the legal maze, and getting official information is not easy either.
The free 1818 number, introduced in Hungary 10 years ago but still unknown to many locals, can help.
It’s like going to a government office to find out how a case should be handled.
But it is much easier to call a free number, available day and night, where, in my experience, you will be greeted by a really enthusiastic operator who will answer all your questions about everything from health insurance to how to use number plates.
They also help you when you get stuck on one of their digital interfaces.
Some matters (employment registration, booking appointments, etc.) can already be handled via this phone line.
