Quick answer
Can I register a .hu domain privately?
Not confirmed yet. The rules we hold for .hu come from registrar lists, not from the registry itself, so Sealname, a private domain registration service paid in crypto, does not sell .hu and makes no privacy promise for it. Extensions we have checked, such as .com at $12.99/year with privacy included, can be registered with no ID and no KYC.

Why doesn't Sealname sell .hu yet?
We sell an extension only after checking three things on the registry's own website: who may register it, whether personal data can stay out of the public record, and whether the registry asks for an identity document or number. For .hu, at least one of these points is not confirmed yet. Registrar lists can be outdated or apply a registrar's own rule rather than the registry's, so we prefer to wait than to promise a privacy that may not exist.
What registrar sources say about eligibility: Persons and companies in Hungary or the EU (per Wikipedia).
What registrar sources say about privacy: Individuals shown as "private registrant".
.hu is the country-code extension of Hungary: its rules come from the national registry and local law, not from ICANN.

Frequently asked questions
When will Sealname sell .hu?
When its rules are confirmed on the registry's website and they allow a private registration with no ID document and no ID number. We re-check the extensions of the index every quarter. If .hu then qualifies, it gets a price and appears in the price list.
Can I register a .hu domain anonymously elsewhere?
Be careful with any promise of anonymity for .hu: the registry's rules decide what is published and who may register, whatever the registrar says. Read the registry's own policy first. What sources say today: Hidden by the registry. Individuals shown as "private registrant".
