What the Greek ID card is used for

The Greek ID card, the Deltio Taftotitas, is the official proof of identity and citizenship for Greek citizens, used for banks, public services and healthcare. The card shows your full name, date and place of birth, ID number, expiry date and your portrait.

How to apply

Greek citizens aged 12 and over apply in person at their local police station or municipal office. Bring the application form, a certified copy of your birth certificate, proof of residence, your old card if you have one, and a recent photo that meets the Hellenic Police requirements. The card is valid for 10 years for adults and 5 years for minors. Travelling abroad? See our Greece passport photo page.
