Summary
For large families, the fee is 5 euros, while a stamp of the Greek Police amounting to 0.50 euros is also provided. For the issuance of the new ID, an electronic fee of 10 euros is required. According to the ministry's data, since July 4, available online appointments have increased by 28%, while service time has decreased from 22 to 14 minutes.
Furthermore, By July 31, more than 4.15 million new IDs had been issued. According to the Ministry of Citizen Protection, the estimated time from submitting the application to receiving the new ID is approximately seven days. Travel abroad with old-type police IDs ends today, August 3, as the well-known "blue" IDs cease to be accepted as travel documents, even for trips to Schengen Area countries, since they lack the modern security features and the machine-readable zone required by European standards.
