Όταν δεν μπορούν να παραστούν οι γονείς, για λόγους ανωτέρας βίας, παρίσταται οποιοσδήποτε συγγενής του ανηλίκου, ο οποίος εξουσιοδοτείται σχετικά από τον ένα γονέα, υποβάλλοντας και την έγγραφη συναίνεση του άλλου, του οποίου έχει βεβαιωθεί το ιδιόχειρο της υπογραφής.

 +
Where neither parent can be present due to force majeure, any relative of the minor may appear, authorised by one parent and also submitting the written consent of the other. The handwritten signatures of the parents are certified as above.
 +

If neither such authorisation nor written consent can be provided, a guardian must be appointed and the supporting documents are submitted, as applicable, by the persons provided for in Articles 1601 and 1602 of the Civil Code. In the case of a person under guardianship or judicial support, the guardian or judicial supporter must also be present in person.

              Notes In the case of a minor, the person exercising custody must also be present in person for submission of the supporting documents.

Where neither parent can be present due to force majeure, any relative of the minor may appear, authorised by one parent and also submitting the written consent of the other. The handwritten signatures of the parents are certified as above. If neither such authorisation nor written consent can be provided, a guardian must be appointed and the supporting documents are submitted, as applicable, by the persons provided for in Articles 1601 and 1602 of the Civil Code. In the case of a person under guardianship or judicial support, the guardian or judicial supporter must also be present in person.

Finally, compliance with the legal requirements for issuance of a Greek passport is checked through third-party Hellenic Police applications.
