How to Complete Form T34 – Stipendium Hungaricum Student
If a Stipendium Hungaricum student needs a Hungarian tax identification number for the payment of their scholarship, they generally need to apply for a tax identification number (adóazonosító jel), not a tax number for self-employed individuals.
The T34 form is used to apply for a tax identification number.
- Section 1 – For NAV use only
Leave this section blank. It is completed by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV).
- Section 2 – Identification details
“Does the individual already have a tax identification number?”
- Select NO if the student has never had a Hungarian tax identification number.
- Select YES if they already have one and enter the existing number.
If the form asks about an EORI/VPID number, select NO if the student does not have one. This is normally not relevant for a scholarship student.
- Section 3 – Reason for submitting the form
For a student applying for a tax identification number for scholarship purposes, select:
Code 1 – Application for a tax identification number.
If the student also wants to receive a Hungarian tax card (adóigazolvány), they should tick the relevant box requesting the tax card.
Personal details
Enter all personal information exactly as it appears in the student’s passport or other official identification document:
- Family name / surname: as shown in the passport
- Given name(s): as shown in the passport
- Birth family name: if applicable
- Birth given name(s): as shown in the passport
- Place of birth: city/town of birth
- Date of birth: year, month, day
- Mother’s birth family name: mother’s maiden/birth surname
- Mother’s birth given name(s): mother’s given name(s)
- Nationality: student’s nationality
Address in Hungary
If the student has a registered Hungarian address or accommodation address, enter the address registered with the Hungarian authorities.
For a foreign national, this will generally be the accommodation address registered with the immigration authorities.
If the student does not have a Hungarian address, the relevant section for their foreign residential address should be completed instead.
Mailing address for the tax card
If the student requests a tax card, they should provide the address where they would like the card to be sent.
If this is the same as their Hungarian address, use the same address.
Section 4 – Details of the payer/employer
If the student is applying for the tax identification number themselves, this section is generally left blank.
Section 5 – Correspondence address
Leave this blank if the correspondence address is the same as the address already provided.
Complete it only if the student has a separate correspondence address.
Section 6 – Customs identification number
This is not relevant for a student applying for a tax identification number for scholarship purposes. Leave it blank.
Section 7 – Request for confirmation
If the student needs proof of their tax identification number before receiving the physical tax card, it is advisable to request the official confirmation of the tax identification number.
This confirmation can be used as proof of the tax identification number until the tax card is received.
Date and signature
At the end of the form, the student must provide:
- their name,
- the date, and
- their signature.
