Only the Greek citizen is required to attend in person, without the newborn, (if both parents are Greek citizens only one of them is required to attend). The parents must have previously declared the solemnisation of their marriage to the Greek Authorities.
Documents:
• Application declaring a birth: You are kindly requested to complete the application prior to your attendance at the Consular Office.
• Valid passports or Greek ID card for each parent. In the event that one of the parents is an EU citizen, the declaration may be completed using the ID card of the competent Member State. Non EU citizens are required to be in possession of a valid passport.
• Greek citizen’s Certificate or Confirmation of Family Status (issued within the last 6 months). If both parents are Greek, then both parents’ certificates are required. Greek citizens may access their family records via the portal gov.gr using their personal TAXISnet credentials. If you do not have TAXISnet credentials, you are kindly requested to fill in an ex officio search application form providing your personal details in Greek, and email the Consular Office at
, requesting a copy of your family status records from the Municipality holding your initial registration.
