FAQ
When is AFM mandatory?
In most property, banking, and formal authority workflows in Greece, AFM is a prerequisite.
Can I start without full documents?
You can start qualification first, but execution quality depends on document readiness.
What is the biggest cause of delay?
Most delays come from missing prerequisites and incorrect step order, not from one specific authority action.

WHY IT MATTERS
The AFM is the keystone of administrative life in Greece
The Αριθμός Φορολογικού Μητρώου (AFM) is your tax registration number with AADE. It is not only for filing taxes — it is the identifier almost every Greek authority and institution requires before they will act. Without it, most formal transactions cannot legally proceed, regardless of how complete your other paperwork is.
Opening a bank account, signing a property contract before a notary, registering with ΕΦΚΑ, accepting a pension, or completing an inheritance transfer all check for a valid AFM first. Because so many steps depend on it, an AFM gap rarely stays isolated — it stalls every downstream action that was waiting on it, often after you have already committed to a timeline.
For non-residents and people abroad, the difficulty is procedural, not just linguistic. Eligibility, the correct AADE pathway, document acceptance, and whether physical presence or a power of attorney is needed all vary by case. Getting the sequence and the documents right the first time is what determines whether registration is clean or loops back for resubmission.
WHO NEEDS THIS
Situations where an AFM becomes the blocking prerequisite
An AFM is required across very different circumstances. These are the most common ones we register for — each reaches the same AADE qualification entry, but the supporting documents and pathway differ.
Buying or transferring property
Greek notaries cannot complete a purchase, sale, or transfer deed without each party's AFM on record. The number must exist and be valid before contract signing, not arranged afterward — making it the first step in any real estate transaction.
Employment, freelancing, or relocation
Anyone working in Greece or registering as self-employed needs an AFM to be paid, to register with ΕΦΚΑ, and to file. Relocating residents typically need it early to settle housing, utilities, and registration with the Δήμος.
Pensions, benefits, and banking
Receiving a Greek pension or social benefit and opening or maintaining a Greek bank account both require an AFM. Banks verify it during onboarding; without one, account opening and most financial onboarding stop before they begin.
Inheritance and non-resident matters
Heirs of Greek estates — including diaspora members living abroad — need an AFM to accept an inheritance and complete transfers. Non-residents often register remotely or through a power of attorney rather than appearing in person.
SERVICE BOUNDARY
What Ellytic handles, and where it stops
Ellytic prepares, validates, sequences, and submits AFM registrations on documented authority paths. We are deliberate about the line between administrative execution and professional advice, and we tell you when a case needs a notary or lawyer.
What Ellytic handles
- AFM registration with AADE through the Starter Bundle, or with banking setup and concierge support through the Full Service Bundle.
- Certified, government-accepted translations of supporting documents for any EU language pair involving Greek, in one business day.
- Remote registration and power-of-attorney arrangements for non-residents and people abroad, where the case allows it.
- Document readiness checks and correct step ordering so the submission is accepted without avoidable resubmission loops.
What Ellytic does not do
- We are not a law firm and do not provide legal or tax advice on your individual position.
- We do not represent you before courts or in litigation, and we do not act as your tax counsel.
- When a matter requires a notary or lawyer — such as contested inheritance or a deed dispute — we flag it and stop at that boundary.
PROOF
What a prepared AFM case actually looks like
When documents are confirmed ready, prepared bundle cases complete within three business days; supporting certified translations turn around in one business day. Output is formatted for AADE and downstream authorities so banks, notaries, and the Δήμος accept it without rework. Ellytic operates as a registered German company (ELLYTIC Technologies UG haftungsbeschränkt) on documented submission paths, with each step recorded and traceable.
