Renewing general official documents in Greece typically requires verifying the current status of the document through the relevant issuing authority. Depending on the document type, the process may involve submitting an application through a local Citizens' Service Center (KEP) or directly via the competent ministry.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to begin the renewal process several months before the document's expiration. This allows sufficient time for appointment scheduling, document verification, and administrative processing, which can fluctuate based on departmental workload.

Start 60 days ahead

Administrative processing times for non-standard documents can vary significantly; two months provides a buffer for verification or additional requests.
