Types of Documents We Retrieve from Greek Authorities
Birth Certificates from Greek Registries
A Greek birth certificate is essential for citizenship applications, passport renewals, and legal proceedings. If you were born in Greece but now live in the U.S., we can retrieve your birth certificate or obtain a certified copy from the relevant registry.
Marriage and Divorce Certificates
If you were married or divorced in Greece, you may need to obtain a marriage certificate or divorce decree for legal matters in the U.S. Our firm retrieves and authenticates these records from Greek municipal authorities.
Death Certificates for Inheritance Cases
Greek inheritance law requires an official death certificate of the deceased. If you need to claim an inheritance in Greece, we assist in obtaining and legalizing death certificates for use in U.S. probate courts.
Property Deeds and Land Registry Records
Property ownership in Greece requires legal proof. We retrieve property deeds, cadastral records, and land registry documents, ensuring your rights are protected under Greek law.
Tax and Social Security Records
Greek tax records (AFM), social security statements, and pension records are often required for legal and financial matters. We assist Greek-Americans in obtaining these documents from the appropriate authorities.
The Legal Process for Document Retrieval in Greece
Step 1: Identifying the Correct Greek Authority.
Official documents in Greece are stored in different municipal offices, regional archives, and court registries. Our legal team locates the exact authority responsible for your document.
Step 2: Authorization for Retrieval
Greek-Americans residing abroad must authorize a legal representative in Greece to retrieve documents on their behalf. We prepare a Power of Attorney (PoA) to ensure a smooth process.
Step 3: Certification and Apostille Authentication
To be legally valid in the U.S., Greek documents often require certified translations and an Apostille seal under the Hague Convention. Our firm handles all necessary authentication steps.
Step 4: Delivery of Official Documents
Once obtained, we send your documents securely via international courier or provide digital copies for immediate use.
