Notes

A Consular Authority will follow the following procedure when preparing and issuing a birth certificate:

  • The nationality and registration data of the parents with the municipality, which are also required, can be found in the certificate of family status, which is sought ex officio by the consular authority. The declaration of the birth certificate, countersigned by the parent and consular officer, is based on the documents presented, the certificate of family status, and the information filled out by the parent in the application. Declaration of civil status events, such as birth, before the competent consular authorities by Greek residents permanently residing abroad is their obligation, and failure to disclose shall result in specific administrative fines (statutory fines provided for in Presidential Decree 16/2014 (Government Gazette, Series II, No 24).
