If you plan to use Indian documents in Greece, you must complete legal authentication first. Since Greece is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, Indian documents require a Hague Apostille to be accepted. Therefore, embassy or consular attestation is not required.

A Hague Apostille, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, certifies the authenticity of signatures, seals, and stamps on public documents. As a result, once MEA apostilles your document, Greek authorities can accept it directly without additional legalization.

Moreover, Greece strictly follows Hague Convention rules. Apostilled Indian documents are accepted by Greek immigration offices, municipalities, universities, employers, courts, banks, and notaries. Consequently, the process becomes faster and avoids repeated verification.

Indian citizens commonly need apostille for Greece when applying for student visas, employment, residence permits, marriage registration, family reunification, property matters, and other legal procedures. Similarly, businesses require apostille for company registration, contracts, power of attorney, and commercial agreements in Greece.

Documents that usually require apostille for Greece include educational certificates (degrees, diplomas, mark sheets), personal documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, police clearance certificate, affidavits), and commercial documents (MOA/AOA, board resolutions, contracts, POA).

However, one Greece-specific point is crucial:
👉 Greek translation is very often required after apostille. In many cases, authorities ask for translation by a certified/sworn translator or legalization through a Greek-authorized channel.
