Birth Registration

The Birth Registration is exclusively carried out by both parents within 10 calendar days, starting from the next working day from the date of birth, at the Birth Registration Department on the 1st floor of the Clinic, by appointment.

Authorization note

The Newborn’s Birth Registration can be carried out by only one parent, as long as there is a signature-certified authorization from a Citizens' Service Center (KEP), Police Department or a digital one via the gov.gr website.

  • Required documents
    • Οriginal ID cards and photocopies thereof for both parents.
    • The IBAN of the mother’s bank account, where she appears as the account holder or joint account holder, for the childbirth benefit application.

    Social security number (AMKA) and Tax Identification Number (TIN) for both parents
    Optionally, the Marriage Certificate, Civil Partnership Certificate or Family Status Certificate in the event the mother is unmarried.

  • What the authorization should include

    Α. If only the father of the newborn registers the birth, the mother’s authorization must specify:

    1. Which of the two parents will insure the baby with their social insurance fund.
    2. That she authorizes her spouse to apply for the childbirth benefit or that she does not wish to apply for the childbirth benefit.

    Β. If only the mother of the newborn registers the birth, the father’s authorization must specify:

    1. Which of the two parents will insure the baby with their social insurance fund.

  • For non-Greek citizens
    • The Marriage Certificate or Certificate from their Embassy where their names have been translated into Greek. (The translation may also be carried by an authorized lawyer)
    • The passports of both parents.
    • Social security number (AMKA) and TIN, if available.

    Read the Brief Guide on Digital Birth Registration issued by the Hellenic Ministry of Digital Governance.

  • Ways of receiving the birth certificate and obtaining the newborn's Social Security Number (AMKA)
    You will receive your newborn’s Social Security Number (AMKA) by SMS on your mobile and it will also be written on the Birth Certificate.

    The Birth Certificate may be downloaded via www.gov.gr or obtained from a Citizens' Service Center (KEP) upon request or from the Registry office of Amaroussion (Monday to Thursday, 08:00-16:00).
    The Registry office of Amaroussion is open by appointment for any other services (e.g. name-giving, recognition of child, etc.).

    You will receive your newborn’s Social Security Number (AMKA) by SMS and it will be written on the Birth Certificate.

    You must immediately forward it to IASO before being discharged, so that you may be entitled to use EOPYY, your social insurance fund. Especially if the newborn is admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or a ward to undergo surgery, you must provide their AMKA prior to the newborn’s admission, so the insurance fund – EOPYY may be utilized.
