Greece — Application for Passport Issuance – Sworn Statement (Αίτηση Έκδοσης Διαβατηρίου – Υπεύθυνη Δήλωση)

The Hellenic Police's standard 'ΑΙΤΗΣΗ ΕΚΔΟΣΗΣ ΔΙΑΒΑΤΗΡΙΟΥ – ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΗ ΔΗΛΩΣΗ' (Application for Passport Issuance – Sworn Statement), published as an official filled specimen by the Εθνικό Κέντρο Διαβατηρίων και Ασφαλών Εγγράφων (National Passport and Secure Document Center) on its own passport.gov.gr domain. The application is filed in person at a Passport Office in Greece or a Greek Diplomatic/Consular Authority abroad; office personnel enter the applicant's data electronically, the system prints the completed form, and the applicant reads, verifies, and signs it before submitting supporting documents (Άρθρο 8 Ν.1599/1986, Άρθρο 3 παρ. 3 Ν.2690/1999). Opens Greece's Passport vertical. This document models the specimen's applicant-facing content: the application-type selection (initial issuance, renewal, replacement, or theft/loss), the natural-person identity/birth/parentage block, residence and contact details, municipal-registry details, and the form's own 9-item sworn declaration (ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΗ ΔΗΛΩΣΗ) required by Law 1599/1986 and Law 2690/1999. It deliberately does NOT model the protocol header's 'Αρχή Παραλαβής' authority-name box, the biometric fingerprint-capture-percentage readouts, or the 'Ο/Η ΠΑΡΑΛΑΒΩΝ/ΟΥΣΑ' receiving-officer signature/name/rank block — all explicitly office/system-completed at the counter, not applicant input — nor either party's wet-ink signature. Authored at `structural-reference` maturity: the specimen's own printed structure is fully transcribed from a genuine, currently-served official specimen (not a fillable AcroForm — the process is inherently in-person, staff-entered), but no live filing at a Passport Office or Consular Authority was attempted. This overturns a prior registry finding (GOV-3026, GR DMV opening cycle) that screened only `passport.gov.gr`'s zero-text scanned PDF and concluded the process was not modelable; a fully legible rendered preview image of the same specimen (also published on passport.gov.gr) makes every field readable, following the same no-fillable-PDF/prose-plus-specimen-image sourcing recipe already used for `gr/yme`. GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Hellenic Republic, the Hellenic Police, or the Ministry of Citizen Protection.

Field reference

34 fields, read from the published schema.json, with names, types, requiredness, and validation as the document states them. The live government form remains the authoritative source.

Fields

  • applicationType enum required

    The kind of passport application being filed. Per the National Passport and Secure Document Center's own process description: INITIAL_ISSUANCE for a first-ever Hellenic passport; RENEWAL when a previously-issued passport (Law 3103/2003) has expired or expires within 36 months; REPLACEMENT for a valid passport being swapped; THEFT_LOSS when a previously-issued passport was stolen, lost, or destroyed.

Current claim

  • status: draft
  • verification.method: manual-source-review-v1
  • verification.lastVerifiedAt: 2026-07-15

This is a GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-3054), picking up child issue GOV-3049, itself pre-scouted during GOV-3045 (Italy's Business Formation opening cycle). Greece stood at 4 of 6 verticals (DMV, Business Formation, Taxes, Visa) at the start of this cycle. This document opens Greece's Passport vertical.

Overturning a prior finding

The GOV-3026 cycle (which opened Greece's DMV vertical) screened Greece's Passport vertical and recorded it as a dead end, on the basis that passport.gov.gr's own "sample" PDF is a scanned image with zero extractable text/AcroForm and that the site's own process description states applications are "electronically registered by Passport Office personnel, then printed and signed" — genuinely true, but that screening pass did not locate the site's own fully-legible rendered preview image of the same specimen. GOV-3045's scouting this cycle found it (AppFSpl.png), following the same no-fillable-PDF/prose-plus-specimen-image sourcing recipe this registry already used successfully for gr/yme (GOV-3026) — an in-person, staff-entered process is not disqualifying on its own; what matters is whether the form's own structure can be read from some source. It can be here.

Source re-verification (Phase 1)

  • Landing page: https://www.passport.gov.gr/en/tools/downloads/samples/ — independently re-fetched this cycle, HTTP 200, text/html, 20,594 bytes. This page is a listing page, not a direct PDF — it links to the actual specimen via a dl.php download-plugin redirect endpoint, https://www.passport.gov.gr/components/com_content/plugins/download/includes/dl.php?c=Dj5bfAA7XGYFLAc0UiRRZQYtAH1WMFJuA2UNaANvUmIENQsyVmM=&m=0 (extracted from the page's own href, not assumed from the prior scouting note).
  • Specimen PDF (via the dl.php redirect): HTTP 200, content-type: application/octet-stream, exactly 1,108,070 bytes, sha256 30b390b0ab0a73b0e297dd43f54c6bc7a77f9fce7d8677905c62c30faf75cfcc — independently computed this cycle with sha256sum against a fresh download, matching the prior scouting note's own citation byte-for-byte.
  • File type: confirmed via pdfjs-dist (legacy/build/pdf.js, installed to a clean /tmp scratch directory) that doc.numPages is 1, page.getAnnotations() returns 0 entries, and page.getTextContent() returns 0 text items — a genuine scanned/rasterized single-page image, zero AcroForm, zero extractable text.
  • Rendered preview image: https://www.passport.gov.gr/media/images/articles/tools/AppFSpl.png — independently re-fetched this cycle, HTTP 200, image/png, 371,942 bytes, sha256 df7bf3dfc39e668c2f8e72669f116ee4a51f13a8cc4ca8882200ae30ea6316b4 — matching the prior scouting note's own citation exactly. 572×809px.
  • Legibility technique: the full image was read directly first (header, personal-data table, fingerprint-capture readout, sworn declaration, and signature blocks were all visible), then three regions were cropped and upscaled 4-5x with sharp's lanczos3 kernel (Node sharp@0.35.2, already present in the environment) to resolve text partially crossed by the page's diagonal "ΥΠΟΔΕΙΓΜΑ ΑΙΤΗΣΗΣ" (Specimen Application) watermark: the personal-data/residence table (confirming address-field structure and the CONTACT@PASSPORT.GOV.GR placeholder email), and the full 9-item ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΗ ΔΗΛΩΣΗ (sworn declaration) text — the initial low-resolution read only partially resolved several of the 9 items where the watermark crossed the text.

Cross-reference corroboration (Phase 1, continued)

  • Instructions: https://www.passport.gov.gr/en/diadikasia-ekdosis/odigies/ — independently re-fetched this cycle, HTTP 200, raw HTML parsed to plain text. Confirms the in-person, staff-entered process; the four application types (initial issuance / renewal / replacement / theft-loss) and their triggering conditions (a passport that has expired or expires within 36 months triggers renewal; a valid passport being swapped triggers replacement; a reported-stolen/lost/destroyed passport triggers theft/loss); and a high-level summary of the Statement-of-Truth content.
  • Required documents: https://www.passport.gov.gr/en/diadikasia-ekdosis/documents/dikaiologitika.html — independently re-fetched this cycle, HTTP 200, raw HTML parsed to plain text. Provided: (a) the authoritative 9-item English-language itemization of the Statement-of-Truth content, cross-checked word-for-word against the Greek specimen's own 9-item declaration — substance matches exactly (no final conviction, no pending arrest warrant, no exit prohibition, not a draft-evader/deserter domestically or abroad, not serving a custodial sentence or under pre-trial detention, residence declaration plus prior-passport lost/stolen/renewal/replacement status, wish to be informed of expiry date, informed of data-processing rights); (b) the full identity-document/photograph/fee supporting-documents list, used to derive documents[]; (c) the complete fee schedule by passport type (EUR 80.00 standard 10-year — type 2014; EUR 67.00 13-month per Article 1 §3/Article 4 §3 P.D. 25/2022 — type 2017; EUR 62.50 8-month when fingerprinting is unavailable, or 3-month per Article 1 §4(b) P.D. 25/2022 — types 2018/2019; EUR 58.00 replacement-only — type 2016).
  • Legislation: https://www.passport.gov.gr/en/diadikasia-ekdosis/legislation/ — independently re-fetched this cycle, HTTP 200, raw HTML parsed to plain text. Confirms the full legal citation chain used in authority.basis: Law 3103/2003, Law 3480/2006 Art.11, Law 4962/2022 Art.87, Law 5143/2024 Art.60, Law 5187/2025 Art.26, Presidential Decree 25/2022, and Common Ministerial Order 3021/22/10-o/2005.

Scope decisions (Phase 2)

  1. The protocol header's "Αρχή Παραλαβής" free-text authority-name box and the receiving-office's "Αριθμός Αίτησης"/"Ημερομηνία" boxes are modelled as optional, office-completed fields (applicationDate captures the filing date; the authority-name box and application-number box are not modelled as separate fields at all, since they carry no applicant-facing meaning beyond identifying which office is processing the request — consistent with this registry's feeAmount/ applicationDate treatment).
  2. The two fingerprint-capture-percentage readouts (ΑΡΙΣΤΕΡΟΣ/ΔΕΞΙΟΣ ΔΕΙΚΤΗΣ) are deliberately NOT modelled. These are biometric-device quality readouts generated during the in-person appointment (a percentage confidence score for each index-finger capture), not an applicant-supplied value of any kind — disclosed as out of scope rather than fabricated as a pseudo-field.
  3. The "Ο/Η ΠΑΡΑΛΑΒΩΝ/ΟΥΣΑ" (receiving officer) signature/name/rank block and both parties' wet-ink signature lines are deliberately NOT modelled, consistent with this registry's established office-reserved- content precedent (e.g. it/poliziadistato's page-1 header/footer treatment, dk/cpr, se/skatteverket).
  4. Declaration item 4 is only partially modelled. Its full printed text ("Διαμένω μόνιμα στην ανωτέρω διεύθυνση και [...] διαβατήριο [...] το οποίο απωλέσθη, εκλάπη ή ζητείται η ανανέωση ή αντικατάστασή του") bundles a residency attestation with a prior-passport-history statement that duplicates information the applicationType field already captures (RENEWAL/REPLACEMENT/THEFT_LOSS). Only the residency attestation is modelled as its own boolean (declarationResidesAtStatedAddress), to avoid a redundant field with unclear independent semantics — consistent with this registry's established caution against fabricating a field the source does not itself structurally separate out.
  5. documents[] (5 entries) is derived directly from dikaiologitika.html's own numbered supporting-documents list, with priorPassportPhotocopy gated on applicationType in [RENEWAL, REPLACEMENT] and lossOrTheftReport gated on applicationType equals THEFT_LOSS — matching that page's own case-by-case (1. first issue, 2. renewal, 3. replacement, 4. theft/loss) structure, using the in condition operator (spec v0.3 conditionLeaf).
  6. wishesToBeInformedOfExpiryDate is modelled required: false, unlike the other 8 declaration items — the specimen's own text ("Επιθυμώ να ενημερωθώ...") is phrased as a preference, not a mandatory sworn attestation.

Conformance fixtures (Phase 3)

7 fixtures committed under conformance/gr/astynomia/aitisi-ekdosis-diavatiriou/1.0.0/: 2 valid (a first-time adult applicant filing INITIAL_ISSUANCE, and a THEFT_LOSS applicant exercising the lossOrTheftReport requiredWhen branch) plus 5 mutation-control fixtures, each derived from a valid fixture by a single targeted mutation. All 7 were run against a from-scratch, ephemeral field-by-field conformance checker (derived from this schema's own fields[]/documents[]/requiredWhen conditions, not committed to the repo) before being finalized: both valid fixtures produced 0 errors, and each of the 5 mutation-control fixtures produced exactly 1 error — a missing required field, a missing required document, a missing conditionally-required document (lossOrTheftReport when applicationType is THEFT_LOSS), an invalid enum value, and an invalid date format.

Structural validation

  • node tools/validate.mjs registry/gr/astynomia/aitisi-ekdosis-diavatiriou/1.0.0/schema.json — ok.
  • node tools/validate-ajv.mjs registry/gr/astynomia/aitisi-ekdosis-diavatiriou/1.0.0/schema.json (ajv 2020-12 against spec/v0.3) — ok.
  • Full-registry re-run after adding this document: node tools/validate.mjs → 461/461; node tools/validate-ajv.mjs → 461/461.

Maturity

structural-reference: the specimen's own printed structure is fully transcribed from a genuine, currently-served official specimen (not a fillable AcroForm — the process is inherently in-person, staff-entered), but no live filing at a Passport Office or Consular Authority was attempted.
