Greece has now completed the automatic allocation of personal identification numbers to all citizens who did not choose their preferred first two digits by the November 5 deadline, the Ministry of Digital Governance announced.
A total of 6,602,827 numbers were assigned automatically, bringing the overall figure since the reform began on June 3 to 9,311,529.
Notifications are being sent via email, the gov.gr “Citizen’s Inbox,” and the Gov.gr Wallet, with the ministry stressing that no action or confirmation is required. For security reasons, the number itself is not included; citizens can view it through pa.gov.gr using TaxisNet credentials or inside the Gov.gr Wallet.
The automatic process continues daily as soon as adults and minors receive a tax identification number. Users are then prompted to check their details in the myInfo app to correct any inaccuracies. Authorities have already identified 963,419 discrepancies across state registries, which are now being addressed.
Citizens with unresolved inconsistencies cannot yet receive a personal number. The new identifier is essential for the upgraded police ID card, which already includes it in 647,643 issued IDs, and will become the single reference number for all public-service transactions.
