|process_evidence_note=The procedure involves the person concerned issuing an electronic solemn declaration without needing to visit an administrative authority or a Citizens’ Service Centre (KEP).
You can access the service for issuing an electronic solemn declaration in the following two (2) ways: a) using your personal web banking codes for one of the available banks or b) using your personal TAXISnet passwords (after logging in once with your web banking codes to confirm your mobile phone number).
You will then receive confirmation codes by text message on your mobile phone. 
The electronic solemn declaration that you will issue is legally equivalent to a solemn declaration bearing an authentic signature and you can either send it electronically or print it out and submit it to a public authority. At the same time, citizens retain the right to physically sign a solemn declaration pursuant to Article 8 of Law 1599/86, and to submit it to the competent authority as a supporting document.
