Using Your Translation in Greece

Greece is part of the Apostille Convention but Egypt is not, so Egyptian documents are usually legalized by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Greek Embassy or Consulate in Egypt.

Good to know: Inside Greece, official translations are produced by specific authorised categories — including certified translators registered with the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Greek lawyers and Greek consular authorities — and a receiving authority may ask for one of these. Many visa files accept certified translations in English. Send us your checklist first — we'll tell you honestly which format is accepted before you pay anything.
