Description
This procedure concerns the transfer of a citizen to another municipality from the one in which they are registered and maintains their family registration due to two years of residence. Persons of legal age or married persons may submit an application to transfer to another municipality two years after obtaining permanent residence there.
In cases where one parent transfers to another municipality, the parents must determine the municipality in which their children will be registered, by means of an irrevocable declaration to the mayor of the destination municipality. If no such declaration is made, the minor children registered in the municipality of the person who transferred will be registered in that person’s new municipality; however, if they do not belong to the said municipality, they will be registered in the previous municipality. The two-year residence period required for a transfer of municipality must be proven by certificate issued by the mayor, as per the provisions of Article 279 (Article 15(7) of Law 3463/2009, as amended by Article 43 of Law 5027/2023).

Together with their application, the applicant must also submit or post to the special application of the EPP a copy of their income tax return (E1 form).

Address information is extracted from the tax register administered by the IAPR via the Interoperability Centre of the GGPSDD of the Ministry of Digital Governance as per the provisions of Article 84 of Law 4727/2020. The certificate will be issued in printed or electronic form within a deadline of ten (10) days from submission of the above information, within which time the mayor must inspect the information and reserves the right to refuse to grant the certificate or to reject it electronically, with justification in both cases, in an act notified in either printed or electronic form to the applicant on the same day. Upon the expiry of the deadline provided in subparagraph 6, the certificate must automatically be issued electronically, and if this is impossible, in printed form (Article 279 of Law 3463/2006, as amended by Article 43 of Law 5027/2023).
