All Organizations Must Accept 'Digital Citizen' Documents

The Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy has announced that all organizations must accept digital documents through the 'Digital Citizen' application in every physical transaction. The application allows citizens to store digital public documents, such as identity cards, driving licenses and fan cards. By 2026, additional documents and features will be added, including documents for foreigners. The digital form of the documents is equivalent to the physical document and must be accepted without exception. Since May 2025, the 'Digital Citizen' application has been linked to the Greek Gov.Gr Wallet application, allowing for mutual recognition and verification of the authenticity of documents. The Deputy Ministry calls on organizations to take the necessary steps to accept digital documents. Verification of the authenticity of documents is done directly through the application, without the need for additional devices.
