Finally, he will have to state the reason for which he wants the ID card to be issued.
That is, if he wants to issue a new ID card due to wear and tear, expiry, change of any item, or replacement of the old ID card.
How to make an appointment
The person concerned selects in his/her application, Issuing Authority based on his/her permanent or temporary residence address in Greece, a specific day and time from the availability list, in order to be served by physical presence, and enters the following details of the person to whom the appointment relates: full name, email address and optionally a telephone number. It is possible for a third party to make the appointment, but the person must be present in person in order to be served.
* Upon completion of the request, an email is sent to verify the email provided by the person. Subsequently, he/she receives in the verified email the basic information for processing the procedure, as well as the contact details of the Issuing Authority he/she has chosen.
* The appointment scheduling request may be rescheduled or cancelled or resubmitted no later than eight (8) hours in advance. Twenty-four (24) hours before and two (2) hours before the scheduled appointment, the interested party receives a reminder message from the platform to the email address provided.
It is clarified that a time gap is maintained between the appointments of the interested parties for the same Identity Card Issuing Authority, sufficient to complete one appointment before the start of a subsequent one. The times and days of the available appointments may be varied, taking into account constraints on the Issuing Authority's working hours and availability, from time to time and from place to place.
It is worth noting that especially in case of loss or theft of the identity card, the citizen should contact the competent Issuing Authority, based on his/her permanent or temporary residence address in Greece and request the scheduling of an appointment for the issuance of a new card.
