At an inter -ministerial meeting where the Personal number And his integration into the police ID card was chaired by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday morning.

Using personal number is given to citizens for the first time the ability to use an identification number for all public transactionswho It will cover all uses of sectoral numbers used today, such as tax ID for tax cases, AMKA related to insurance issues and the police ID number.

This will improve the provision of services and at the same time address chronic gaps in the interconnection of state registries, which have resulted in the suffering of citizens and the restriction of the effectiveness of public services.

‘Key’ to unlock any transaction with the public

“Congratulations, first of all, to those who worked hard to get to the point today we can digital the personal number. It is a seemingly technical intervention, but I think it has a very significant added value to the overall modernization of the state.

In essence, the new personal number to be attributed to each citizen becomes the “key” to unlock any transaction with the State. It comes and completes the existing numbers that already exist.

And to put it very simply, our ambition is from now on that the citizen only remembers his personal number – in which he himself will be involved, so that the number will be truly personal – to facilitate citizen communications with the State.

And it is also a great opportunity to correct a series of errors that exist in the main state registers, I would say from their recommendation, so that we are absolutely sure that all the elements concerning all Greek citizens are absolutely correct.

You have identified the process by which the personal number will be issued, which from now on will be listed in new identities. Let us also say that blue identities, as we know them, will soon be – and must be on the basis of a European directive – past. And in collaboration with the Ministry of Citizen Protection, we do our best to limit the waiting for the issuance of new identities.

The new identity itself is an important indication of the Greek state’s progress and we encourage all citizens as soon as possible to rush to publish it. And our job is to reduce the waiting times, especially in Athens and Thessaloniki, so that this process becomes as seamlessly as possible, “the prime minister said after the presentation.

Granting through Gov.gr’s Myinfo Application

The use of the personal number will facilitate the exchange of data between different public services, improving cooperation and efficiency, while allowing the creation of expensive and reliable statistics.

Personal number will be performed through the application myinfo of gov.gr, where citizens will be able to form part of their personal number themselves.

At the same time, citizens will be able to make the necessary confirmations of their personal information and request corrections in the event of deviations to be consistent with the information registered in the citizen register.

The platform is expected to start operating in early June.

The personal number will be automatically indicated on the new identities, on the rear, and will be the identifier that uniquely verifies the identity of the face in the digital world, corresponding to the identity card number that in combination with photography identifies the person in the natural world.

Digital governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou noted: “The personal number is coming to do two things: one is to help citizens who are suffering from the Greek State because of these spelling – metaphorically and literally – in the registries of the state, and the second register of the state, and the second.

The purpose is now only with a number and not with four different sectoral numbers, the citizen to be served throughout the Greek State, slowly and in the private sector. It is a cut, really, for the Greek public administration. “

The personal number was presented by the Secretary General of Information Systems and Digital Governance Demosthenes Anagnostopoulos.

Over 1.7 million new identities have already been received – possibility of issuing and outside the place of permanent residence

In the context of the meeting also was informed by the Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoid on the course of the issuance of new police identities. To date, more than 1.7 million new identities have been received from their holders, with 371 issuance services throughout Greece.

“The Hellenic Police Crimes Investigations and Crimes Departments are issued each year every year, in all parts of the country, in all the prefectures of the country, in all regions of the country. Our efforts from now on is to further strengthen with staff and more employment that the crimes investigation and resolution, to have more jobs, to work on Sunday to welcome citizens.

We also call on these citizens who will be vacationing in various parts of the country, because the ability of the Regional Security Departments for IDs is greater, they could therefore submit their application there, for the sake of brevity and service there, so that their identity can quickly be issued. “
