Greece: templates and forms

A Greek private agreement for selling a used car between individuals, written for the rule that applies now: the agreement does not transfer the car. Ownership passes with the digital transfer on gov.gr, the only route between private persons since 27 April 2026. So it binds the seller to start the transfer and the buyer to accept it by a set date and within 30 days of handover, before the seller's insurance lapses, and puts fines on the buyer from handover. It gives the price in words, the known defects and the two-year limitation period of art. 554 of the Greek Civil Code, and can be signed online on docs.gov.gr.

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.

Three days from service: that is all the time the new Greek Road Traffic Code allows for objecting to a traffic ticket (art. 107 of Law 5209/2025), and this document is written to be filed the same day. It goes to the authority of the officer who recorded the offence, electronically or, where that is not possible, by any other suitable means, with the ticket's details, the grounds, the evidence and, if someone else was driving, who. Camera fines are objected to through Gov.gr Wallet within the same three days. The old half-fine for paying within ten days no longer exists.

The seller's letter to their motor insurer in Greece after the car's digital transfer. A Greek policy neither passes to the buyer nor needs cancelling: it lapses by law 30 days after ownership or possession of the car passes (art. 8(2) of Presidential Decree 237/1986), and the insurer must return the unearned premium for the rest of the period. The letter identifies the policy and the vehicle, gives the dates of handover and transfer with the gov.gr certificate, and asks for the refund to an IBAN and for written confirmation of when cover ended.

The receipt in which someone in Greece who takes money from a private person confirms it: who paid and who received, the sum in figures and words, what it was for, the date and method of payment, and whether it settles the whole debt or is paid on account, with the balance. A debtor who pays is entitled to a written receipt and, on paying the whole debt, to the return of the debt document (art. 424 of the Greek Civil Code). It goes with the loan agreement, the acknowledgment of debt and the settlement.

A Greek private agreement for a loan of money between private persons — relatives, friends, acquaintances: the parties with their AFM tax numbers, the sum in figures and words, how it is paid out, a fixed repayment day or instalments, interest and default interest. The rate is set against the ceiling for loans outside banks (7.90% a year from 16 September 2026), and the 3.6% digital transaction duty is placed on the borrower, payable to the Greek tax authority (AADE) by the end of the following month. Signed by both, it is the document a payment order runs on.

The record of the moment the buyer took the car: date and hour, odometer reading, fuel, keys, documents, accessories and condition. In Greece it matters more than elsewhere: handover can come days before the digital transfer on gov.gr, the transfer records no handover at all, and until it is done the seller remains the registered owner — and the one fines are sent to. The record proves who had the vehicle, and from when fines and damage are the buyer's — and handover starts the 30 days after which the seller's insurance ends.

The claim in which someone who suffered loss in a road accident in Greece asks for compensation directly from the insurer of the vehicle at fault, without going through its driver: the injured party has a direct claim against the insurer (Presidential Decree 237/1986), and the insurer owes a reasoned offer, or a reasoned reply, within three months of the claim. It sets out the accident, the at-fault vehicle and its policy, what happened, the damage, the amount, availability for inspection and the IBAN. Remember, too, to notify your own insurer within eight days.

gov.gr issues authorisations free; this document gives you the wording, to paste there, or to sign as a PDF and have the signature certified free on docs.gov.gr or at a citizen service centre (ΚΕΠ). It is DocMuse's own text, not the Greek state's form. It covers one precisely described act in Greece — collecting a document, filing an application, signing a contract, receiving a payment — and sets the limits of the authority, whether the agent may appoint a substitute or deal with themselves, and until when it is valid. Under the Greek Civil Code an authority takes the form of the act (art. 217): selling real estate, or any act made by notarial deed, needs a notarial power of attorney.

The request by which anyone asks a Greek public service, municipality or public-law body to inspect or receive copies of specific documents. Since 1 January 2025, art. 5 of the Greek Code of Administrative Procedure, as replaced by art. 59 of Law 5143/2024, gives this right to every person with no interest to show, and the service answers within 20 days. The request names documents rather than asking questions, because a manifestly vague request needs no answer.
