Start with the exact record
Ask for the full or long-form civil record required by the competent Greek authority. Short certificates may omit parent or event information needed to connect the family line.
Apostille and translation for Greek citizenship records: what to check
General information only. Your dates, family circumstances and competent authority determine the actual procedure.
Legalisation is country-specific
An Apostille authenticates a public document for use between Hague Convention countries. Other legalisation routes may apply elsewhere, so verify the issuing country and the receiving authority.
Translation comes after the right original
Do not translate an incomplete or incorrect record. First confirm the format, names, dates and legalisation; then use the translation method accepted by the competent Greek authority.
