The Greek identity Card (Gr: Δελτίο αστυνομικής ταυτότητας) is an official document of the Hellenic Republic, used to certify one's identity in any occasion. The authority handling the issuing is the Hellenic Police, and possession of this document is mandatory for all Greeks over 12 years of age. Citizens are obliged to always carry it, and produce it at police's request; failing to do so may result in the citizen's identification at the nearest police station. A passport is considered of equal value to the ID card, when certifying one's identity. The ID card is a valid travel document in Europe (except Belarus, Kosovo, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine), to Georgia, Turkey and on organized tours to Morocco.〔http://www.mfa.gov.tr/countries-whose-citizens-are-allowed-to-enter-turkey-with-their-national-id_s.en.mfa〕 Moreover, it is also used to identify a person of citizens in local and EU elections. ID cards are valid for 15 years and the bearer's name is also typed in Latin characters since 2000. Older ID cards, written in Greek characters only, are still valid and of equal value, provided that less than 15 years have passed since the issue date.〔(In Greek: replacing an ID "when a period of fifteen years passed since the issue date" )〕 Military staff, as well as personnel of the police, fire brigade, coast guard, and intelligent services, carry special IDs until retiring or exiting their services. ==Description== The front side includes areas bearing the holder's signature, a black and white photograph of specific standards, the blood type and rhesus, as well as data of the identity card (number, place and date of issue, issuing authority). The back side includes the surname, first name and the name of the father and the mother of the identity card holder with Greek and Latin characters, as well as date and place of birth, height, the municipality in which the holder is registered and the municipality registration number and finally the authority issuing the identity card. Before 2005 the ID card was mandatory for citizens over 14 years of age, and included data which were removed after 2005 due to privacy concerns and / or because they are no longer considered necessary for the purpose of identification of the person: * Profession * Religion * Address * Name of spouse * The index fingerprint of the right hand * Eye and hair color * Citizenship 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greek identity card」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
