According to the text of the law, "the Hungarian Order of Honour is awarded in recognition of outstanding service or heroism in the interests of Hungary and the nation." A maximum of thirty medals may be awarded each year. In all cases, the honours are awarded by the President of the Republic on the recommendation and countersignature of the Prime Minister or the Minister concerned. The medal is usually awarded on a special occasion, usually a national holiday such as 15 March or 23 October, to commemorate a significant event in Hungary's history.
