Greece’s official criminal-record document is the Ποινικό Μητρώο (Penal Record certificate), issued by the Ministry of Justice. It can be requested online through the National Criminal Record portal (ncris.gov.gr) or gov.gr, or in person at a Citizen Service Centre (KEP) or Public Prosecutor’s Office. It’s issued free of charge, usually within about 10 working days, and stays valid for 3 months. There are two versions: a Judicial Use Copy showing all final court decisions, and a General Use Copy that omits older or minor penalties. Background information on someone in Greece typically combines this certificate with other lawfully available information our local partners can verify directly.

Private investigation is a licensed profession in Greece under Law 3206/2003. Licensed agencies apply through the Hellenic Police Headquarters and Ministry of Citizen Protection, and applicants go through a suitability review and background check. The same law also restricts how licensed agencies can describe themselves: it prohibits the use of terms like ‘Detective’ or ‘Private Detective,’ reserving those words to avoid confusion with actual police officers. The correct legal designation is ‘Private Investigation Agency’ or ‘Private Investigator,’ which is the terminology our local partners in Greece actually operate under.

Recording a private conversation without everyone’s consent is a criminal offense in Greece. Article 370A of the Penal Code requires the consent of all participants to record a phone call or a non-public spoken conversation, punishable by imprisonment. Evidence obtained through a criminal offense, including an illegally made recording, can be excluded from criminal proceedings, which is why our local partners plan surveillance and evidence-gathering within that rule rather than around it.

Greek divorce law offers two paths. A no-fault divorce is available after a 2-year separation, or by mutual consent if the couple has been married at least 6 months. A fault-based divorce is also available under Article 1439 of the Civil Code, which explicitly names adultery, bigamy, abandonment, and domestic violence as grounds. Custody arrangements are handled separately, either by court order or as part of a consensual divorce agreement.

Greece implements the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation through Law 4624/2019, in force since August 29, 2019, with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority as the regulator. Greece also set its own age threshold of 15 for valid consent to data processing, a year younger than the GDPR’s default. On cybercrime, Greece ratified the Council of Europe’s Budapest Convention through Law 4411/2016, which covers hacking, phishing, ransomware, and denial-of-service attacks as distinct criminal offenses.
