Over one million Greeks have secured their Personal Number, a single identifier streamlining public service interactions, as part of the new ID card rollout. However, thousands face challenges booking appointments due to soaring demand.

By October’s end, violators face electronic warnings—and non-compliance could mean seized plates.
