Certified translation: which route your document needs

The tool gives the route, not a price: translation fees are not regulated, and a certified translator is found in the gov.gr and MFA registries.

For a document used abroad the order is usually: an apostille from the Greek authority, then a certified translation into the destination language. Outside the Hague Convention, consular legalisation takes the place of the apostille.

For a foreign document used in Greece, the translation is into Greek by a translator on the MFA registry, after the stamp or legalisation of the issuing country.

Inside Greece, a Greek document needs no translation unless the receiving body asks for one.

A Greek lyceum certificate for study in Germany: an apostille from the competent Greek authority, then a certified translation into German. An Albanian birth certificate for use in Greece: the issuing country's stamp, then a translation into Greek.
