Why You Need a Notary for Greece Documents
Greece authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Greece, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
Documents Commonly Required for Greece
- Passport certified copy
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Police clearance certificate
- Degree and professional certificates
- Property power of attorney
- Company documents
Common Uses for Greece-Bound Notarised Documents

Apostille and Legalisation for Greece
Greece is a Hague Apostille Convention country. Irish documents notarised by Hugh Phelan must be apostilled by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs before submission to a Greek notarios (συμβολαιογράφος), the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Greek land registry.
Greece is a popular destination for Irish property investment and retirement. The Golden Visa programme (real estate investment from €250,000) has attracted significant Irish interest.
