Registration Acts

 

For Greek Nationals living abroad, events such as Birth, Marriage or Death need to be registered with the local Greek Consular Authorities. An individual, wishing to have the appropriate Certificate issued, must have on hand the relevant documents issued by Canadian Authorities and then report to the local Greek Consular Authority. It is preferable that this be done within the three months following the event for which a Certificate is to be issued. 

 

Statement of birth

 

To have his/her birth registered with the Consulate General of Greece in Montreal, the applicant must have been born in cities of the Provinces of the Consulate’s General jurisdiction.

 

The following supporting documents must be submitted:

 

1.     Application.

 

2.     Marriage certificate of the applicant’s parents from the appropriate Registrar General in Greece (if the marriage took place in Greece) or a marriage certificate from the appropriate Greek Consular Authority (if the marriage took place abroad).

 

3.     The applicant’s Statement of Birth (Long Form) from the Registry Office of Quebec in Montreal (2050 Bleury Street).

 

4.     Parents’ municipal registration – family status certificate from the appropriate municipality or village in Greece and all their Greek passports (if they have them). Municipal registration certificates should have been recently issued, so as to reflect the relevant administrative reforms introduced in Greece. Please, note that when you register the birth of your child at the same time as (or within a short time of your marriage registration) you need not to bring forward the municipal certificates again, since they have been recently used for recording the marriage.

 

5.     If there has been a christening, the Church Baptism Certificate may be taken into consideration.

 

6.     The applicant’s Canadian passport (if any), might also be needed.

 

7.     One photo (passport size).

 

Please note that if the applicant is an adult, he or she must come to the Embassy in person. If the applicant is under 18 years old, one of the parents will have to complete the registration procedure.
