Do children born in Hungary to National Residence Card holders get status automatically?

Hungary's rules provide continuity of status for the next generation. A minor child born in Hungary to parents who qualify is automatically granted a National Residence Card.

The key step is to notify the authorities of the birth, which triggers the issuance of the child's card. This spares families from running a separate, full application for a newborn and ensures the child shares the same secure permanent residence basis as the parents.
