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.
What do I need?
- Application for registration of the interested party (a relevant form is provided by the Service).
- A declaration that the applicant is not registered in the Register of Men (the relevant form is provided by the Service).
- Birth certificate (in case of birth abroad, a certificate from the Special Registry of Athens is required).
- Marriage certificate of the parents (in case of marriage abroad, a certificate of the Special Registry Office of Athens is required).
- Certificate of the father’s Children’s Register.

- Two photos.
- A negative registration certificate from the Register of Boys of the Municipality or Community of the place of residence of the parents in the year of birth of the person concerned, or from the Municipality or Community where the parents may have a family residence. This negative act is necessary, since in the case of registration of an undocumented adult in a Boys’ Register, the adult has the right to choose in which Boys’ Register he or she will be registered.
- A photocopy of his passport.
Parents’ Greek police identity card.
For those abroad it is also necessary:
Application – Declaration of the person concerned, which is submitted to the Greek Consulate.

I need to know
All types of certificates, as well as civil registry acts can be searched by the service on the basis of the provisions of Law 3242/2OO4 and Law 3448/2006 “on ex officio search” as long as the events have taken place in Greece (marriages, births, deaths).
Excluded are acts concerning events that have taken place abroad and are declared at the Special Registry of Athens, where the ex officio search does not apply.
