New Greek ID cards are required for EU travel starting summer 2026, as old ones will be invalid due to low security. The Personal Number will be automatically issued to citizens without one from November 6, aiming to simplify interactions by using a single identifier. Over 1.3 million citizens have already obtained their Personal Number, and new legislation also addresses digital age verification for sales to minors.
