Is Greece a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Greece since 18 May 1985, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Greece with no embassy step.
The route to Greece
A FDA CFG is issued by Food and Drug Administration, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Greece, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Greece for citizenship by descent, golden visa, property. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
