I am a foreign citizen whose work contract terminated on 18 July 2023. My UK social security payments ceased on that date. I have moved back to Hungary. In order to reactivate my social security here, I must provide an official certificate confirming that my social security (NI) payments in the UK have ceased. How can I get such a certificate?

Hi Tunde Paal,
You would not need a certificate to ‘reactivate’ your social security in Hungary.
You may need to obtain further information from the Hungarian authorities, to confirm which certificate they are asking you to provide them with.
You can request a statement of National Insurance contributions paid in the UK:
Get a statement of your National Insurance contributions (CA3916)
But this will not confirm that your payments of National Insurance contributions in the UK have ceased.
I would suggest that you ask the Hungarian authorities to confirm which certificate they require.
Thank you.
