AFM Registration
The AFM (Αριθμός Φορολογικού Μητρώου) is your Greek Tax Identification Number — essential for everything from opening a bank account to buying property. We obtain your AFM without you ever setting foot in a Greek tax office.
What It Is

FAQ
Common Questions
How long does it take to get an AFM?
With our service, typically 1-3 business days. If you apply in person at a Greek tax office, it can be issued the same day, but the process is complex if you don't speak Greek.
Can I get an AFM without being a Greek resident?
Yes. Non-residents can obtain an AFM, which is required for property purchases and other transactions. However, the process is more complex for non-residents.
What documents do I need for AFM registration?
Valid passport, proof of address (from any country), and sometimes a birth certificate or marriage certificate. Requirements vary slightly by tax office.
Is the AFM the same as a Greek ID?
No. The AFM is only a tax number. Greek citizens have a police ID card, while foreign residents receive a residence permit (biometric card) separately.
