Why Apostille Documents for Greece
If you need to use a UK document in Greece, it will typically need an Apostille certificate to be recognised by Greek authorities. This applies to civil documents used to get married in Greece, tax residency certificates filed with Greek tax offices, employer letters supporting work permits, and a wide range of other personal and business paperwork.
Greece is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which simplifies the legalisation process. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Greek Embassy or Consulate is needed. Greek authorities will, however, usually require an official translation of the document into Greek.
