gov.gr: How to make an electronic declaration and authorization

As part of the Digital Transformation of Public Services, the electronic issuance of a declaration of responsibility and authorization from the citizen’s personal computer or mobile phone is now available.

Now, a series of procedures that until now required in-person presence at a KEP or Police Department can be carried out without travel and unnecessary bureaucracy through the single digital portal of the State gov.gr , implemented by the Ministry of Digital Governance.

The entrance to the system

Identification will be carried out through Taxisnet codes and documents issued through gov.gr will bear a unique verification identification number and an electronic seal, and will be mandatorily accepted by all public and broader public sector bodies.

Below are the steps for completing an authorization. The steps for the solemn declaration are similar.

Filling process

1. On the home page of gov.gr, select the section “Citizen and everyday life”.
2. In the section tab, select “Responsible declaration and authorization”.
3. Depending on the document we wish to issue, we select “Issue of a declaration of responsibility” or “Issue of authorization”.
4. Select “Login to the service”.
5. In the “Statements” tab, select “Start here”.
6. In the “Select an action” tab, select “Create a new document” and click the “Continue” button.
7. We choose between pre-formatted authorization or responsible declaration forms and free text and click on the corresponding “Select” button that appears.
8. Select “Login” and you will be taken to the Taxisnet user authentication window.
9. There we enter the username and password, check that the “Approval” option is active and click on the “Send” button.
10. Automatically returning to the gov.gr page, we will be asked to confirm whether our name, surname and VAT number are correctly registered in Taxisnet and we click on the “Confirm” button.
11. In the next tab, enter the requested information and click on the “Continue” button.
12. Fill in the text of the authorization (if we have selected free text), as well as the details of the authorized person. Select “Continue”.
13. In the “Authorization Overview” we check if the information is correct and select “Version”.
14. In a few seconds, we will receive an SMS on the mobile phone we registered in step 11 with the six-digit code that we must enter in the “Code” field and select “Continue”.
15. In the left column of the screen, a green box appears informing us that the document has been issued, as well as its full details. In the right column, we select “Save” to save the document to our computer, “Send e-mail” to send the document to our own e-mail address and/or “Send SMS” to send the document to our own phone number. If we want to cancel the document we have drawn up, we select “Revoke”.
