Greece’s newly implemented system for issuing criminal record checks has processed 100,000 requests within its first 40 days of operation. Citizens can now obtain official copies of their ποινικό μητρώο (criminal record) electronically, directly through their personal computers, either at home or in the workplace. The process is reportedly swift, with applicants receiving the documents in a matter of minutes. This digital transition aims to streamline a previously bureaucratic process, offering increased convenience and accessibility for citizens. The new system represents a significant step towards modernization of public services in Greece. Authorities have not yet released data on processing times prior to the system’s launch, but emphasize the speed and ease of the current method. This initiative is expected to reduce administrative burdens and improve transparency.
