The social security booklet will be phased out – what does this mean for employers and employees?
The social security booklet (TB-kiskönyv), a document long established in the Hungarian legal system for recording social security entitlements, will soon become a thing of the past. In May 2025, the Hungarian Parliament adopted a legislative amendment that provides for the phasing out of the social security booklet. The aim is to reduce administrative burdens and prioritize digital data processing. According to the new law, the paper-based social security booklet will be discontinued and fully replaced by an electronic register, the so-called “e-social security booklet,” which will include an expanded data set compared to the traditional booklet.
