Description
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR REGISTRATION IN THE MALE REGISTERS
Each new male member of a family is registered in the Register of Boys with his birth certificate, which within the first quarter of the year following his birth, is sent to each Municipality or Community by the Register Office that draws up the certificate.
The competent Municipality or Community for the registration of the minor is the one in whose Municipal Register the parents of the minor are registered (Law 2119/93).
When for any reason the minor is not registered in the Boys’ Register, while he/she is Greek by birth, he/she is declared undocumented and is registered under the procedure for registering an undocumented minor.
