This is a GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-3026). Greece stood at 2 of 6 verticals (Taxes, Visa) at the start of this cycle, the least-built-out jurisdiction alongside Italy with no recent dead-end screening on record. This document opens Greece's DMV vertical (1 of 6).

Scouting handoff

A parallel scouting agent in this same cycle screened all four of Greece's open verticals:

1. Passport — confirmed a dead end. passport.gov.gr's own "sample" PDF (AppFSample.pdf) is a scanned image with zero extractable text/ AcroForm, and the site's own process description states applications are "electronically registered by Passport Office personnel, then printed and signed" — not citizen-fillable.
2. DMV — the winning candidate, modelled in this document. yme.gr hosts a full family of real, downloadable, non-login-gated driving-licence PDFs (Α1 through Α10) with no auth wall.
3. Business Formation — a strong candidate was found (AADE's Δ211, a 268-field AcroForm mirrored by the Athens Chamber of Commerce after the AADE domain itself WAF-blocked direct fetch), left as disclosed backlog for a future cycle rather than bundled into this single-deliverable document.
4. National ID — confirmed a dead end. astynomia.gr returns an Akamai WAF 403 on direct fetch; the National Registry of Administrative Procedures (mitos.gov.gr) confirms issuance is "αποκλειστικά δια ζώσης" (exclusively in-person), with mandatory biometric capture (photo + 2 fingerprints + digital signature) and no citizen-fillable static form.

Source re-verification (Phase 1)

• Authority (as printed on the form): Form Α1, published by the Υπουργείο Υποδομών και Μεταφορών (Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, ΥΜΕ) on its own yme.gr domain, filed with the Διεύθυνση Μεταφορών και Επικοινωνιών (Transport & Communications Directorate) of the applicant's Περιφερειακή Ενότητα (regional unit). Legal basis printed on the form itself: Απόφαση 58930/480/99 (ΦΕΚ 526/Β/3-5-99), ΚΥΑ 43206/6028/29-7-2008 (ΦΕΚ 1541/Β), Ν.2963/01 (ΦΕΚ 268/Α/23-11-01), Π.Δ. 19/95 (ΦΕΚ 15/Α/31-1-95), and the sworn-declaration format basis Άρθρο 8 Ν.1599/1986 + Άρθρο 3 παρ. 3 Ν.2690/1999.
• URL: https://www.yme.gr/getfile.php?id=2443
• Retrieved / reviewed: 2026-07-15, independently re-fetched this cycle with curl -s, not trusted from the scouting agent's report as-is.
• HTTP status: 200. Content-Type: application/pdf. Size: 100,699 bytes — matches the scouting report's own figure exactly. sha256: b26c0475ba5bc6a8b35bbb75e89a8f72e84af5d33e29aa989ebfcd05f845c500 — independently computed this cycle with sha256sum against a fresh download, matching the scouting agent's own reported hash exactly.
• File type: a genuine PDF. Independently confirmed this cycle via pdfjs-dist@2's getAnnotations(), which returns zero entries on every one of the 4 pages — a print-and-hand-fill form, no AcroForm/interactive widgets whatsoever.
• Extraction method: pdfjs-dist@2 getTextContent() run against all 4 pages from a clean /tmp scratch install, independently this cycle (not trusted from the scouting agent's summary as-is), with items grouped by rounded y-coordinate and sorted by x to reconstruct each printed row — necessary because getTextContent()'s raw item order does not match visual reading order on this form. Confirmed 4 pages, matching the scouting report's own claim, and every section the scouting report described (applicant identity block, representative-designation block, sworn declaration, required-documents table, response-delivery choice) verbatim against the form's own printed text.
• A sibling form, Α2 (https://www.yme.gr/getfile.php?id=2444, HTTP 200, application/pdf, 99,849 bytes, sha256 9b290a6a0058e134fb93373ea71b3492441b200bc43a9855e04d69211d8a2bf5), was also independently fetched this cycle to compare against Α1 before choosing which category to model; both are byte-distinct instances of the same universal Ν.1599/1986 cover-form template scoped to a different driving-licence category. Α1 (Category A, motorcycle) was retained as the modelled document since it was the one the scouting agent had already fully transcribed and cross-verified; Α2 (Category B, car) and the remaining Α3–Α10 siblings (extensions, replacements, EU-licence conversion) are left as disclosed, ready-to-fetch companion-schema candidates for a future cycle — all confirmed live at the same yme.gr/getfile.php?id=N pattern.

Field inventory (Phase 2)

All 38 fields[] entries and their exact source-form section/label reference are listed inline in schema.json's own sourceRef per field. Summary by section:

| Section (page) | Representative fields | Modelled scope | |---|---|---| | Header (p.1) | protocolNumber, protocolDate, addresseeDirectorate | Full — first two filled by the receiving Directorate, not the applicant | | ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΑ ΑΙΤΟΥΝΤΟΣ (φυσικά πρόσωπα) — applicant (p.1) | applicantGivenName/Surname, applicantFather/MotherGivenName/Surname, applicantBirthDate/Place, applicantIdCardNumber, applicantTaxId, applicantResidenceCity/Street/StreetNumber/PostalCode, applicantPhone/Fax/Email | Full — excludes the sibling legal-entity block (see judgment call 1) | | ΟΡΙΣΜΟΣ ΕΚΠΡΟΣΩΠΟΥ — representative designation (p.1) | kepDelegationAuthorized, representativeAuthorizedToSubmit/ToReceive, representativeGivenName/Surname/FatherFullName/IdCardNumber/ResidenceCity/Street/StreetNumber/PostalCode/Phone/Fax/Email | Full — completed only when not filing/collecting in person (see judgment call 2) | | ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΗ ΔΗΛΩΣΗ — sworn declaration (p.2) | declarationNormalResidenceGreece, declarationNoOtherDrivingLicenceHeld | Full | | ΜΕΡΟΣ Δ' — delivery & signature (p.4) | responseDeliveryMethod, declarationSignatureDate | Full |

Total: 38 fields[] entries (20 unconditionally required: true, the remaining 18 belonging to the office-filled header pair or the representative-designation block, all required: false) plus 9 documents[] entries: 6 unconditionally required, 1 — residencePermitPhotocopy — required: false with its foreign-national conditionality disclosed only in prose (no nationality field exists on this form to gate on structurally), and 2 — medicalFitnessCertificates/existingDrivingLicencePhotocopy — each conditionally required via requiredWhen on declarationNoOtherDrivingLicenceHeld, in inverse directions of the same condition.

Per-section tally (independent cross-check against the 38-field claim)

• Header: 3 (protocolNumber, protocolDate, addresseeDirectorate)
• Applicant section: 6 (given/surname + parents') + 2 (birth date/place) + 1 (ID card) + 1 (tax ID) + 4 (residence city/street/number/postal code) + 3 (phone/fax/email) = 17
• Representative-designation section: 3 (authorization booleans: kepDelegationAuthorized, representativeAuthorizedToSubmit, representativeAuthorizedToReceive) + 8 (given name, surname, father's full name, ID card number, residence city/street/street number/postal code) + 3 (phone/fax/email) = 14
• Declaration section: 2
• Delivery/signature section: 2
• 3 + 17 + 14 + 2 + 2 = 38, matching schema.json's own fields[] array length exactly (node -e "console.log(require('./schema.json').fields.length)" → 38). An earlier draft of this document incorrectly stated 33 in its own description and this file before this reconciliation was run end-to-end; both were corrected to 38 prior to publication.

Judgment calls disclosed

1. The form's own "ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΑ ΑΙΤΟΥΝΤΟΣ (νομικά πρόσωπα ή ενώσεις προσώπων)" (Applicant Data — legal entities) block is out of scope. This is a universal Ν.1599/1986 cover-form family printed with both a natural-person and a legal-entity applicant block regardless of which specific procedure it is attached to. A Category A driving licence is, per the form's own eligibility conditions (ΠΡΟΫΠΟΘΕΣΕΙΣ — minimum age, physical/ mental fitness, theoretical/practical exam), issuable only to a natural person; the legal-entity block has no application to this procedure. The form's own instruction ("Στις γκρίζες περιοχές δεν πρέπει να συμπληρωθούν στοιχεία" — do not fill in data in the grey areas) is the form's own signal that procedure-inapplicable blocks are left blank, though this cycle's text-only extraction could not independently confirm the grey shading visually (no PDF-to-image rendering was performed).
2. The representative-designation block is not gated by requiredWhen. The form prints no separate flag distinguishing "filing in person" from "filing via a representative" other than the representative block itself being filled in or left blank — consistent with this registry's established caution (e.g. sk/policajny-zbor/ziadost-o-udelenie- vodicskeho-opravnenia) against fabricating a gating condition the form does not itself structurally encode via a dedicated flag field. Each field instead carries a description disclosing it is completed only when a representative is designated.
3. documents[].existingDrivingLicencePhotocopy and documents[].medicalFitnessCertificates are the two documents this form does structurally gate, both via requiredWhen on the sworn declaration declarationNoOtherDrivingLicenceHeld (inverse conditions of each other): the form's own footnote (2) instructs applicants to strike the "I do not hold another licence" declaration when they do hold one, in which case a photocopy of that licence must be submitted; the same note (Δικαιολογητικό 5) states the medical-fitness certificates are not required at all when the applicant already holds a valid licence of any category or subcategory — the identical real-world condition declarationNoOtherDrivingLicenceHeld already records, so no additional field was fabricated to express it.
4. applicantTaxId and applicantPhone are modelled required: true; applicantFax/applicantEmail are required: false. The form itself marks no field in the natural-person applicant block with an optional-strike-out asterisk (unlike the representative block's implicit conditionality), so a phone number was judged a necessary contact channel for administrative correspondence while fax and e-mail were judged supplementary alternate channels, consistent with how not every applicant is expected to hold a fax line.

Conformance fixtures (Phase 3)

8 fixtures committed under conformance/gr/yme/ekdosi-adeias-odigisis-katigorias-a/1.0.0/: 2 valid (an in-person applicant with no other driving licence held, and a represented applicant who already holds another licence — exercising the existingDrivingLicencePhotocopy requiredWhen branch and the medicalFitnessCertificates exemption together) plus 6 mutation-control fixtures, each derived from a valid fixture by a single targeted mutation. All 8 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 6 mutation-control fixtures produced exactly 1 error — a missing required field, a missing required document, a missing conditionally-required document (existingDrivingLicencePhotocopy when declarationNoOtherDrivingLicenceHeld is false), an invalid enum value, an invalid boolean type, and an invalid date format.

Structural validation

• node tools/validate.mjs registry/gr/yme/ekdosi-adeias-odigisis-katigorias-a/1.0.0/schema.json — ok.
• node tools/validate-ajv.mjs registry/gr/yme/ekdosi-adeias-odigisis-katigorias-a/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 → 456/456; node tools/validate-ajv.mjs → 456/456.
