Description
The procedure concerns the issue of an authorisation by the person directly concerned to the person authorised to act on his/her behalf, in the course of handling cases and up to the range of powers given to him/her. In order for the authorisation to be accepted by each administrative authority, it should bear the authentic signature of the authorised and directly concerned person, as this ensures the declaration of his/her will.
The authorisation shall be issued either by visiting the citizen to any administrative authority or a Point of Single Contact (ΚΕΠ-ΕΚΕ) to certify his/her authenticity in the authorisation document he/she wishes, or by using the e-exousiodotisi electronic issuing service through the Single Digital Gateway (gov.gr) of the public administration.

In the case of an authorisation text drawn up by the person concerned in a natural and non-electronic way, the necessary procedure for attesting the authenticity of his signature by an administrative authority or by a Point of Single Contact (KEΠ-EKE) is required to demonstrate the original proof of the identity of the person concerned. For Greek citizens, the means of proof of identity are: the police identity card or passport or driving licence or the booklet of a main insurer. This information is acceptable as identification documents even if their validity has expired, as the basic identity of the person remains unchanged.

Software interaction (interoperability)
Description
In order to log in to the service, the user must be identified (authenticated). Authentication may be carried out either by using their personal Taxisnet credentials or by using the web banking credentials they hold.
Notes
If authentication is carried out using Taxisnet credentials, the user consents to the Single Digital Gateway gaining access to their personal data (Tax Identification Number, first name, surname, father's name, mother's name, year of birth), which are provided by the tax register of the MINISTRY OF FINANCE managed by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE).
The web banking authentication procedure may vary depending on the bank. This means that, in order for it to be completed, the user may be asked to enter a one-time password (OTP) or approve the process through a push notification. During the authentication process, the user consents to the Single Digital Gateway gaining access to the user's personal data, specifically: first name, surname, Tax Identification Number, mobile phone number (where it exists and is used for the user's authentication by the bank).
