Memorandum and articles in Greece – official record
A memorandum & articles / constitutional documents record from Greece sets out the constitutional terms filed with the company's registry: name, object, capital, seat, governance rules. The exact issuing route and the fee for Greece are under confirmation against the primary source. REGISTRUM states the confirmed position, the price and the delivery window before any order is accepted.
What this document shows
A memorandum & articles / constitutional documents record, ordered for a Greek company – sometimes searched for as a Greece memorandum and articles – sets out the constitutional terms held on file at the relevant registry. Company name. Registered object. Share capital, where applicable. Registered seat and municipality. Names of the founding shareholders or members at incorporation. Date of the founding deed and of any subsequent amendment. Duration of the company, where a fixed term was set. Rules on management and representation, drawn from the articles themselves. Where the company has a management board rather than a single director, the articles on file will usually name the board's composition as constituted at the relevant date.
Where a company has amended its constitutional terms since incorporation, the record ordered will normally reflect the version filed at the register, not a historical archive of every prior version. Which version a given order returns – the founding deed alone, or the consolidated articles as last amended – depends on the register's own filing practice in Greece, and this is confirmed for the specific company before the order is placed rather than assumed from the document type in general.
The precise scope of the Greek filing – whether the register holds the deed as a scanned image, a certified extract, or a structured data record – is being confirmed against the primary source for this jurisdiction. Under the law in force in Greece, constitutional documents are filed at incorporation and on each amendment. What REGISTRUM can state with confidence at this stage is the document type requested and the fields it is built to contain, not yet the granular presentation for every company on file. Where the record is requested for a company still using its founding deed without amendment, the fields above are drawn directly from that single filing; where amendments exist, REGISTRUM identifies which version the register treats as current before quoting a route.
A memorandum & articles / constitutional documents record shows the constitutional terms as filed. It does not show whether the company is currently trading, solvent, or subject to insolvency proceedings – that status sits in a separate court or insolvency register, not in the constitutional filing. It does not show charges, mortgages or security registered against the company's assets; those sit in a distinct charges or land register, structured separately from the corporate file. It does not show the beneficial owner behind the shareholders named in the founding deed, where that differs from the registered shareholder – beneficial ownership in Greece is held, where it exists at all, in a register kept apart from the constitutional filing, and access to it is a separate question from access to this document.
It does not show litigation involving the company, tax status, or any assessment of whether a named director or shareholder is a person a reader should rely on – REGISTRUM reports what the record contains, not what it means for a transaction. Whether the constitutional record itself is open for public search, restricted to parties with a registered interest, or requires an entry key specific to the company is a point still being confirmed against the primary source for Greece; a reader ordering ahead of a closing date should treat the access regime as unconfirmed until REGISTRUM returns the specific answer for the company named.
How the document is obtained
The issuing authority for a Greek memorandum & articles / constitutional documents record is the competent commercial registry holding the company's file; which specific registry office applies depends on the company's registered seat, and this is confirmed once the entity is named. The regime governing access – whether the filing is searchable without a local representative, and whether a national identifier or local electronic signature is required to request a copy – is not yet confirmed against the primary source, and REGISTRUM states it as: the access regime for this register is being confirmed against the primary source, until the check is complete.
The official fee charged by the Greek authority is likewise not yet confirmed; REGISTRUM's own price for handling the order, separate from any authority fee, is available on request rather than published on this page. The normal delivery window is confirmed at the point of ordering, once the company and the seat are known, rather than stated in general terms here. Where a certified Greece extract is required rather than a plain copy of the filing, this is confirmed as part of the same order rather than treated as a separate document.
Documents issued in Greece are issued in Greek. Whether an English rendering accompanies the record, or a certified translation is ordered separately, is addressed as an add-on rather than assumed as included. A foreign applicant not resident in Greece, and without a local registered agent, may or may not be able to request the record directly; this depends on the same access regime under confirmation, and REGISTRUM checks it for the named company before quoting a route rather than presenting a single answer for every filing. Reuse of a record ordered through REGISTRUM is limited to the matter for which it was ordered – reuse of the same document for a second, unrelated matter is treated as a fresh order, per document, rather than covered under the first.
Price and timeline
Price on request for a memorandum & articles / constitutional documents record from Greece: the fee is confirmed and stated before payment, not published as a range on this page. Add-ons available on this order include apostille, certified translation, courier and rush handling; each extends the delivery window by an amount confirmed when it is added, rather than fixed in advance. If the document does not exist in this jurisdiction or cannot be obtained for you, we say so before you pay and we do not take the order.
How long does a memorandum & articles / constitutional documents from Greece take?
The delivery window is confirmed once the company and its registered seat are known, rather than fixed as a single figure for every filing in Greece. REGISTRUM states the expected window before payment, and add-ons such as rush handling can shorten it, again confirmed at the time of ordering rather than promised in advance.
Will a Greece document be accepted abroad without an apostille?
Acceptance abroad is decided by the receiving authority in the destination country, not by REGISTRUM. Greece is a party to arrangements allowing an apostille to be added to a public document for use abroad; whether a given receiving office insists on one is a question for that office, and REGISTRUM does not represent that any document, apostilled or not, will be accepted.
What does a memorandum & articles / constitutional documents in Greece not show?
It shows the constitutional terms filed at incorporation or last amendment – name, object, capital, seat and governance rules. It does not show solvency, litigation, charges over assets or beneficial ownership; each of those sits in a separate register, and access to the constitutional record itself is confirmed for the named company before a route is quoted.
Can I order a Greek memorandum and articles if I am not a shareholder or director of the company?
Ordering the record does not require a shareholding or a director's position in the company named – REGISTRUM handles the request on the basis of the entity and jurisdiction supplied, not the requester's relationship to it. Whether the underlying Greek filing itself is open to a party with no registered interest is part of the access regime still being confirmed.
Does the Greek constitutional document come with an English translation?
Not as standard – a record issued in Greece is issued in Greek. A certified translation is available as an add-on to the order, priced and timed separately from the base document, rather than bundled into it by default.
State the entity, the jurisdiction and the date you need it by; we confirm availability and the fee before you pay. Readers who prefer to request a Greece company document themselves can follow the step-by-step route at the guide to obtaining a memorandum and articles in Greece instead of placing an order.
