A translation is considered to be valid when its validation has been made by a lawyer. The translator gives to the lawyer the translation and the source-text and the lawyer certifies the accuracy of the translation as well as that the translated document is in accordance with the Greek law.
The validation by a lawyer is necessary for the translation of official public documents such as various certificates, passports, degrees, driving licenses, etc., either for documents issued abroad in order to be submitted to the Greek public services or for documents issued in Greece and that are going to be submitted to foreign authorities. The authenticity of the signature of the lawyer is also certified by the Bar Association.
