Authorisation to drive the owner's vehicle (Greece)

This document is in Greek
The PDF you download is in Greek — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.
A document by which a car's owner in Greece lets someone else drive it for a set period and in set countries — a trip abroad, a family member, a colleague. It states what the driver may do, what not (sell, hire out, hand the car to anyone else), and who bears fines, with a summary in English. The gov.gr e-authorisation is free: paste this text into its free-text box, or sign the PDF and have the signature certified on docs.gov.gr or at a citizens' service centre (KEP). For travel abroad, check what the destination country requires.

Common questions
- How is this text used with the free gov.gr e-authorisation in Greece?
- Two ways, both free. In gov.gr's authorisation service, logged in with Taxisnet credentials, paste the document's terms into the free-text box; the digital authorisation has the same force as one with an authenticated signature (Law 4727/2020). Or sign the PDF and upload it to docs.gov.gr for digital certification, or have the signature authenticated at a citizens' service centre (KEP) — no longer at a police station (Law 4937/2022).
- Will border guards and police in another country accept a Greek authorisation to drive?
- There is no single rule; it depends on the country. Before travelling, check with the destination country's embassy or consulate whether it wants the authorisation with a certified signature, a translation or an apostille. docs.gov.gr certifies signatures on documents in Greek or English, and this document carries a summary in English. Check with the insurer too that the policy covers this driver, for the whole period and in the countries on the route.
- Who pays fines while someone else drives the car in Greece under an authorisation?
- Whoever committed the offence. The authorisation states that the driver bears fines and damage caused by their own fault while it runs. If a camera fine reaches the owner, the owner names the driver in a solemn declaration within seven days of service, in person or through Gov.gr Wallet, or is treated as the offender; the authorisation, with its dates and the driver's details, backs that declaration up.
