Declaration of a Civil Partnership that was concluded in Greece or before a Greek Consular Authority

Civil Partnerships drawn up between Greek citizens or a Greek citizen and a foreigner under the Greek Law 4356/2015 are declared to the Consular Authority of their place of permanent residence.

NOTE: Civil Partnerships drawn up under foreign law are not recognized and are not registered.

Only the Greek citizen is required to attend in person (if both parties are Greek only one of them is required to attend) in order to submit the following documents:

• Application to declare a Civil Partnership: You are kindly requested to complete the application prior to your attendance at the consular office

• Certified Copy of the Civil Partnership

• Valid passports or Greek ID card for each partner. EU citizens may complete the declaration using their ID card. Non EU citizens are required to be in possession of a valid passport.

Upon completion of the declaration, the citizen receives a copy of the registered deed, which has already been sent electronically to the relevant municipalities. With the registration of the deed in the family file of the Greek citizen, the declaration is completed.
