Applying the Family Support Act for family allowance (one type of allowances) alone results in one and a half million decisions per year made by the responsible authorities in Hungary. These large numbers show that there is a need for automation to support administrative processes. In designing automation, those processes can be formally represented as a series of document related acts. The paper presents a taxonomy of documents (registers, applications, certificates, etc.) and related acts (entry, deletion, retrieving, extraction) giving an opportunity to rethink the taxonomy of administrative action types (Verwaltungsakte).
