Act XLVI of 2001 on consular protection (2001. évi XLVI. törvény a konzuli védelemről) and Decree No. 17/2001. (XI.15.) KüM on the implementation of Act XLVI (17/2001. (XI. 15.) KüM rendelet a konzuli védelem részletes szabályairól) provide the legal framework for consular protection, further elaborated by several other decrees, namely, Decree No. 1/1991 (IV.9.) KüM on consular fees and Decree No. 1/2002 (1.23.) KüM on rules of execution concerning consular documents and certificates.
