3. Declaration of birth of a child by unmarried Greek parents
In the event that the child has been born to unmarried parents, but both Greek parents have completed a statutory declaration of acknowledgement of parentage and both parents’ details appear on the British birth certificate, the documents required are mentioned below.
Only one of the parents is required to attend in person, without the new-born.
Documents:
• Application declaring a birth: You are kindly requested to complete the application prior to your attendance at the Consular Office.
• Both parents’ valid Greek passports or ID card.
• Certificate or Confirmation of Family Status of the Greek citizen (issued within the last 6 months). Greek citizens may access their family records via the portal gov.gr using their personal TAXISnet credentials. If you do not have TAXISnet credentials, the certificates will be issued on the day of your appointment.
• Full Birth Certificate issued by the British registry office duly legalised with an APOSTILLE stamp from the competent British Authorities. A translation of the British Birth Certificate is not required. Please keep in mind that the registration will not be completed, unless the submitted certificate is legalised with the Apostille stamp.
A notarised Child Recognition Deed is no longer required for the registration of birth that took place in the UK and for the recognition of parental relations that are recognised according to the UK law. If such an act has already been signed, please bring a copy thereof during your appointment, as well.
