Re: Transition period ends, some clarification documents
Sounds about right ! Even the guy I was talking to on the 'phone yesterday who was in Budapest and translating between the lady in the kormanyablak and who advised us that the computer hadn't been updated with my new card details fully didn't actually mention that it was due to not returning my old card ! I will follow your advice and return my old card and then wait and see ... !

I still have not received a reply to my letter asking the Kormanyablak to clarify the situation.
I'm going to wait until the new year and go to Miskolc but might try the same office as last time before Christmas if we can fit it in.

It was Emod which told me I didn't need ID card and booked an appointment via one of the options on the local government websites. I actually wrote to Miskolc, the office which sent me new residence card. Emod also issue driving licences, deals with residence cards, supposedly ID cards too.

In my case, I took all of my forms and had the meeting at the immigration office in Zalaegerszeg but the new card was actually issued from Gyor which is where I will send my old card to ... it will be the local kormanyayablak in Lenti that will deal with the ID card as it did with my driving licence exchange ...

Emod like Ence is a local government department which issues things like driving licences and ID's,for the districts they cover, but they don't issue Residents Permits. Those are dealt with by the Immigration office in Miskolc. There are also two local district offices in Miskolc itself.

Yay! My ID card arrived in the post yesterday. Can now enjoy Christmas without having to worry about the vagaries of Hungarian bureaucracy.

I already have a letter asking me to apply for ID. It's same letter I uploaded on this forum.

Re: Transition period ends, some clarification documents
I received the same letter as the one you uploaded on this forum, but about 2 months after I'd returned my old Resident card to Immigration in Miskolc (and after being told by the district offices in both Encs and Miskolc that I didn't need an ID) I received another letter asking me to go into the Encs office and apply for my ID. When I got there they already had an Ecard in my name waiting for me. As I said my ID arrived in the post on Thursday.

At least that's how it seemed to work in my case!
