# Verification record — `gr/astynomia/aitisi-ekdosis-diavatiriou` v1.0.0 This file is the **source-review record** for this document version, per the [`manual-source-review-v1`](../../../../../practices/manual-source-review-v1.md) practice. It documents the provenance of the published fields and states the current verification claim honestly. ## 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.
