Green card

Green card: needed, or is the plate enough?

In the EU and most neighbouring countries a Hungarian plate is enough. For Turkey, Ukraine or Morocco, do not leave without a green card.

The green card is not insurance, it is proof: it shows that you have the compulsory motor liability cover the visited country requires. Your KGFB gives the cover; the card proves it. It costs nothing.

Where you need it

Based on the MABISZ (Association of Hungarian Insurance Companies) notice of 31 December 2025. Check the current rules of your destination before you go: they change.

Green card by insurer

You get it from the insurer that holds your KGFB; MABISZ does not issue green cards to drivers. It is usually valid until the last day of your KGFB cover, but for at least 15 days. Not sure which insurer you are with? Write to us and we check.

Questions

What does a green card cost?

Nothing. It is not separate insurance but proof that your KGFB (compulsory motor insurance) is valid. Ask the insurer that holds your KGFB.

Is a copy on my phone enough?

Since 1 January 2025, yes: the PDF can be shown on a phone or tablet. Keep a printed copy in the car too, in case the battery dies.

Mine is black and white. Is that right?

Yes. In Hungary it is issued single-sided in black and white.
