Declaration of a Marriage solemnized in the United Kingdom

Only the Greek citizen is required to attend in person (if both parties are Greek only one of them is required to attend) in order to submit the following documents:

• Application to declare a marriage: You are kindly requested to complete the application prior to your attendance at the consular office
• Valid passports or Greek ID card for each spouse. EU citizens may complete the declaration using their ID card. Non EU citizens are required to be in possession of a valid passport.
• Certificate or Confirmation of Family Status of the Greek citizen (issued within the last 6 months). If both citizens are Greek, then Certificate or Confirmation of Family Status for each citizen is 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.
• Original Marriage Certificate issued by a British Registry Office duly legalised with an APOSTILLE stamp from the competent British Authorities. A translation of the British Marriage 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.

Certified copies of the declaration can be sent to the Special Registry Office in Athens via the Consular Office, or directly by the interested parties themselves, or by an authorised third party (in possession of a Notarised Power of Attorney). The Special Registry Office in Athens forwards an e-copy of the details to the competent Municipality. The declaration is considered complete when the certificate details are entered into the family records of the Greek citizen.
