Initially, the academic identity and then the blood donor card are added from Monday in the digital wallet, followed by professional qualities.
Thus, the citizen already carries his police ID, driver’s license, unemployment card, car file on his mobile phone, while from April 9 he will also enter the stadiums with his wallet.
To date, 2,296,150 police ID cards have been issued and stored in Gov.gr Wallet, of which 67,302 PDF copies of police ID cards, 1,844,922 driver’s licenses, 33,923 disability cards, 102,586 unemployment cards (DYPA), 36,899 ring badges have been issued. and 318,467 car “Envelopes” (MyAuto).
However, in order for citizens to be able to use the digital documents in the wallet, they must first be registered in the National Communication Registry (EMEP – emep.gov.gr).
As the Minister of Digital Governance emphasizes, Dimitris Papastergiou, “in the last few years, in the Ministry of Digital Governance, utilizing the possibilities offered by technology, a great digital revolution was implemented which essentially proved that the state can be next to the citizens and limit the bureaucracy with actions and not with wishful thinking.
With technology as our absolute ally, it’s time to make the next digital leap, focusing on the gov.gr wallet for many processes. Our digital wallet, where today we have a number of useful documents, such as our identity card and my auto. Our digital wallet that from April 9th ​​we will use for our safe entry to the stadiums.
The gov.gr wallet through which we will soon give our consent for the completion of procedures that require the use of our personal data.
Therefore, I consider it very important that all those who have not already done so, register today in the National Register of Communications, emep.gov.gr. It’s a simple process, but an important prerequisite, to use all those tools that make our daily life even friendlier, easier and certainly without bureaucracy, not even digital.”

What is the National Contact Register?
The National Register of Communications (E.M.Ep. – emep.gov.gr) is the management information system of the central database of unique registration of the contact details of all natural persons, to whom a Tax Registration Number (TIN) has been assigned.

e) Full contact address (if different from residential address).
Who can register their contact details in E.M.Ep.?
In E.M.Ep. can register the contact details of any natural person who has been assigned a Tax Registration Number (TIN).

How is the initial registration of my mobile phone number in E.M.Ep.?
The initial registration is done through the option “Declaration-Confirmation of Mobile Phone Number” and you are sent a one-time password (One Time Password) by sms, which you enter to verify possession of your mobile phone number. This is followed by a confirmation (cross-check) of the possession of the mobile number by a credit institution of which you are an e-banking user or by a mobile telephony service provider.
As long as the mobile phone number is not confirmed by either a credit institution or a mobile phone service provider, you can go to K.E.P. or paid consular authority to state your contact details.
They can register his contact information in E.M.Ep. minors who have reached the age of 15?
Minors who have reached the age of 15 can register their contact details in the E.M.Ep., as long as they have a Tax Registration Number (TIN).
For access to digital services of increased security, the confirmed mobile phone that has been declared in the E.M.Ep. used in combination with TAXISnet codes, as a second identification factor.
How is the statement of contact information made to E.M.Ep. for minors?
The statement of contact details to the E.M.Ep. for minors it is the same as for adults, through the electronic application of the E.M.Ep. using TAXISnet codes and confirmation of the mobile phone from a credit institution or mobile service provider.
In case the confirmation of the mobile phone cannot be obtained through a credit institution or mobile service provider, the registration of the minor’s mobile phone number in the E.M.Ep. can be done in K.E.P. or salaried consular authority following the personal presence of both the minor and the guardian with their identification documents and mobile phone.
Objectives of the EMEp
The EMEp was designed with the aim of facilitating the provision of digital public services to citizens through gov.gr. The main objectives of the EMEP are twofold:
The first objective concerns the creation of a central, unique point of registration of the contact details of natural persons, so that:
- on the one hand, the citizen, whenever there is a change in his contact information, to inform a point without having to visit different physical or digital points to declare the change,
- on the other hand, that the public bodies can obtain the updated contact information in order to communicate promptly and seamlessly with natural persons.
The second objective concerns strengthening the security of digital transactions with public services provided through Gov.gr. Strong authentication is activated, which is achieved by sending a one-time code to the confirmed mobile registered for the citizen in the EMEp.
The certified, i.e., mobile phone is used to achieve Gov.gr as a safe and trusted digital environment through which the citizen can confidently and safely process sensitive electronic transactions such as myphoto, egov – KYC (Know your Customer ), the gov.gr Wallet, i.e. transactions that may reveal personal and/or sensitive information to the user as well as transactions that create a commitment or obligation such as the issuance of an electronic declaration of liability and the issuance of an electronic authorization.
As the mobile phone number, registered in the E.M.Ep. is of paramount importance, its registration is not limited to a simple statement but requires confirmation by a third party. For this reason, different confirmation channels have been activated to facilitate the citizens as much as possible.
Confirmation can be done:
- from a Greek financial institution whose natural person is a customer and e-banking user and the mobile number to be confirmed is used by the financial institution to send one-time-passwords to the specific natural person or
- from a Greek mobile phone service provider
- by a KEP employee or Consular Authority after physical identification
