ELLYTIC Identity

Authority interaction explained

Settling in Greece rarely means dealing with a single office. A tax number is issued by AADE, residence and civil records sit with your Δήμος (municipality) and its Ληξιαρχείο (civil registry), while a KEP citizens’ service point can channel many requests in one place. Because each authority relies on records the others produce, the order in which you approach them matters: an out-of-sequence step is the most common reason a file is sent back. Ellytic does not replace these authorities — as an Independent Concierge it prepares and coordinates each submission so every office receives correct, complete, and consistent information.

What each authority handles

AADE issues the AFM (tax number); for those abroad the process runs remotely under a limited power of attorney with video identification.
Your Δήμος (municipality) records residence and address details that later documents rely on.
The Ληξιαρχείο (civil registry) records life events such as births, marriages, and deaths and issues the related certificates.
A KEP citizens’ service point acts as a front desk for many requests and can forward them to the responsible authority.

Why sequencing matters

Many steps depend on the AFM, so obtaining the tax number first keeps later requests from stalling.
Foreign documents often need a Σφραγίδα της Χάγης (apostille) and a certified translation before an office will accept them.
Certified translations are signed with a qualified electronic signature (QES) by sworn translators, which authorities recognise.
Deregistration is handled on the tax side only; an AMKA social-security number is not deactivated and simply rests.
