Greece is moving ahead with the nationwide rollout of new digital identity cards, with authorities urging citizens holding older-style IDs to begin the replacement process before current documents expire.

Under European Regulation 2019/1157, identity cards that do not include a machine-readable zone will no longer be valid after August 3, 2026. Citizens using older documents are therefore required to replace them within the specified timeframe.

The new IDs are designed with upgraded security features and enhanced digital capabilities aimed at simplifying identification procedures and public transactions.

Costs and Requirements

The cost for issuing a new identity card remains relatively low. Applicants must pay a €10 electronic fee, which covers production, printing and secure delivery of the document.

Large families are eligible for a reduced €5 fee upon presentation of the required documentation. In addition, applicants must provide a €0.50 police stamp attached to the application.
