VITAL RECORDS · GREEKS ABROAD

Register a birth or marriage in Greece from abroad—with the family sequence in the right order.

Prepare before the appointment

01 · Identify the event

Birth or marriage, date, place and responsible foreign authority.

02 · Check the family order

Earlier births or marriages may need to appear in Greek records first.

03 · Prepare the foreign record

Use the exact record form, legalisation and translation required by the mission.

04 · Use the competent consulate

Book or submit only through the authority with jurisdiction for the event.

A missing earlier registration can stop the next one.

Start with a document-sequence check so you do not book the wrong service or prepare the wrong certificate.
