Personal Number marks a new era in citizens interactions with the public sector, ministers say

The new major step in the country’s digital transition was presented on Monday at the Ministry of Digital Governance, with the introduction of the Personal Number – the single, all-purpose identification number for citizens.

The presentation was made by Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou, Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis and Dimosthenis Anagnostopoulos, Secretary General of Information Systems and Digital Governance, in the presence, among others, of the Governor of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR), Giorgos Pitsilis. It is the shared belief of all involved that the establishment of the Personal Number marks a new era in citizens’ interactions with the public sector. It promises to simplify procedures, reduce bureaucracy, enhance security, and improve daily life.

Papastergiou, emphasised the importance of the project for the country’s digital transformation.

“The Personal Number is a project of national significance that will change the way citizens interact with the public sector. It is a step toward a more digital, efficient, and citizen-friendly public administration,” said Papastergiou, highlighting that “the goal is to simplify citizens’ lives.”

The presentation of the Personal Number followed, delivered by Papastergiou, who said that “it is a unique, unchangeable number that will be used to identify each citizen in all their transactions with the public sector. We are committed to addressing all challenges and ensuring the successful implementation of the Personal Number. It is a project that will improve citizens’ lives for the better”.

The process of obtaining the Personal Number is simple and is carried out through the platforms MyInfo.gov.gr and pa.gov.gr.
