Given that it is difficult to determine for each potential case, whether a notary act is required or whether a simple signature legalisation would suffice, and to avoid your potential inconvenience, we kindly advise you in case of doubt to contact a Lawyer or Notary regarding the type of document required for your particular case.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to legalise your signature, free of charge<\/strong>, via the website www.gov.gr<\/a> <\/span> with the use of TAXIS codes and Greek bank e-banking services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case this is not feasible, you can book an appointment for legalisation of signature through this website: Please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have your signature legalised you are required to bring in the original document and sign it before a member of the Consulate staff<\/strong>. You are also required to provide proof of identity with a document bearing your photograph, e.g. Passport or Greek ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is only possible to verify original documents, not copies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost of verification:<\/strong><\/td>You can access our\u00a0Consular Fees<\/a>\u00a0List here.
