Description

The procedure involves acquisition of Greek nationality upon recognition and concerns any foreigner who was born out of wedlock and was legally recognised as the child of a Greek father. Such foreigners are granted Greek nationality if they are minors at the time of recognition. The date of acquisition of Greek nationality is deemed to be either the date on which the notarial act of recognition was drawn up or the date on which the judicial act of recognition became de jure non-appealable. If the recognition took place after the child attained the age of majority, the procedure for naturalisation of expatriates can take place (https://www.ypes.gr/g-g-ithageneias/diadikasies-ktisis-e-i/politografisi-omogenon)
