How it works
Sign once. We handle the rest.
Most Greek admin can be done without you travelling. You give authority once, usually a Greek power of attorney signed where you live. A named Greek lawyer and accountant then handle the work. Only a few identity steps, such as residence-permit fingerprints, need you in Greece.
The five steps
- Tell us what you need. Choose your services. We work out the exact powers required.
- Approve the draft. We draft the document in Greek and English with only the powers you need.
- Sign once. At a Greek consulate, or before a notary where you live.
- Send the original. By tracked courier to the Greek lawyer. We check it before use.
- We handle the rest. Filings, appointments and follow-up happen in Greece. You receive every result in writing.
Where to sign
At a Greek consulate
The consulate prepares the power of attorney in Greek. It can be used in Greece straight away, with no Apostille and no translation. You need an appointment and your passport.
Before a notary where you live
Faster to book in many countries. The signed document then needs a Hague Apostille, or consular legalisation if your country is outside the Hague Convention, followed by a certified Greek translation. We arrange the translation.
Online, if you already have TAXISnet
For many tax and public-service tasks you can instead authorise the accountant from your own myAADE or gov.gr account in a few minutes. Property, inheritance and court matters still need a notarial power of attorney.
What stays with you
These steps are personal by law or by the provider’s rules. No document can delegate them.
- Signing the power of attorney itself
- Residence-permit biometrics: fingerprints, photograph and signature
- Collecting a residence card, Greek ID card or passport
- A bank’s identity check when you open an account
- Your own passwords and one-time codes
- Key decisions: prices, tax choices, accepting an inheritance
When a visit is needed, we plan all in-person steps into as few days as possible.

Useful answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I give a Greek power of attorney from abroad?
Yes. You sign it at a Greek consulate, which drafts it in Greek and needs no Apostille, or before a notary where you live. A foreign notarial document then needs a Hague Apostille, or consular legalisation outside the Hague Convention, and a certified Greek translation.
Who do I name in the power of attorney?
The Greek lawyer handling your case, and where useful a second named representative so work does not stop if one person is unavailable. You choose the names and approve the final wording.
Is one general power of attorney enough for everything?
A general power of attorney covers most tax, social-security, utility and public-service work. Buying or selling property, accepting or renouncing an inheritance, gifts and company formation need the specific power written in. We draft one document that covers the services you actually need.
What can a power of attorney never cover?
Biometrics for a residence permit, collecting a residence card, Greek ID card or passport, a bank’s identity check, and your own passwords and one-time codes. These stay personal whatever document you sign.
Can I cancel the power of attorney?
Yes. You can revoke it before a notary or consulate at any time. We also recommend limiting it to the powers and time period your case needs.
Will you hold or move my money?
No. We do not include powers over your bank accounts unless a transaction truly requires it and you ask for it. You pay taxes, fees and providers directly.
