WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRONIC IDENTITY
The bill regulating the implementation of the Electronic Building Identity was submitted to Parliament by the Ministry of Environment under the title “Control and Protection of the Built Environment.”
What is an electronic building ID?
The Electronic Building Identity is the complete digital file of a building/an independent divided property or an undeveloped plot/ plot of land, which records the current status of the building and its permits, as well as monitoring and controlling changes to it throughout its lifetime.
Simply put, it is an “X-ray” of our building and includes all its details as well as the National Land Registry Code Number (ΚΑΕΚ). This makes it easier, faster, and more efficient to carry out any legal transaction or change that concerns it.
Transfers, sales, construction of new buildings, regularization of unauthorized buildings, etc., cannot be carried out without the Electronic Building Identity (EBI).
Also, with the HTC the owner has all the information that concerns the property in a single and only file. Specifically, the building plans, the permits, the energy classification (PEA), the static adequacy and of course has and knowledge about the legality or illegality of the building of.
The engineer you have chosen creates, modifies, and maintains this file. Although the file is digital, it also exists in physical form and, according to the law, must be kept by the owners in a special area inside the building.

The aim of the Electronic Building Identity is to make it easier for owners, engineers, and relevant authorities to have full control of the property and to reduce the bureaucracy involved.
In practice, if, for example, we want to transfer our property, there is no need to reissue certificates, etc. In addition, the status of the property and the legal permits relating to it are recorded. If we decide to change something in our building, the engineer who manages it updates the electronic file. The Hellenic Technical Chamber must be notified if work is carried out on the building that requires building permits or approval from a public authority.
WHO MUST ISSUE A MANDATORY ELECTRONIC BUILDING IDENTITY CARD?
It is time to issue Electronic Building Identification for all properties without exception, including unauthorized buildings without building permits and those for which new building permits are issued.
- Electronic identification is mandatory for all properties without exception!
The file must include all information relating to the property, such as:
- The plans floor plans, the building permit, the certificate of energy efficiency (EEC), the table of millimeters and the declarations of inclusion in laws suspending the imposition of penalties on arbitrary actions, the number KAEK [Code Number National Land Registry]
- In addition to buildings, undeveloped plots of land/sites and independent divided properties are also subject to the same legislation.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION OF ELECTRONIC BUILDING IDENTITY
By choosing CITY ENGINEERING, you can rest assured that your case will be handled smoothly. Our experienced and specialized team will keep you informed about all stages of the process from our first contact.
To complete the Electronic Building Identity file, the Engineer records the following information:
- The building permit for the building, with its revisions
- The plans accompanying the building permit
- The energy performance certificate for the building or parts thereof
- The construction control certificate, if issued
- Declarations of compliance with laws suspending the imposition of penalties for arbitrary acts.
- Floor plans, which show the building in its actual condition when this is not apparent from the information provided in cases 1, 2, and 5.
- The structural vulnerability report and the static adequacy study, if required in accordance with Article 99.
- The table of millimeters and the study of the building’s cost allocation, if required.
- The Certificate of Completeness of the Electronic Identity of the Building.
The above information is completed by CITY ENGINEERING’s authorized engineers on a special form that is kept in electronic format.
The Electronic Identity data is stored in the Electronic Register, which is supervised by the Built Environment Observatory. From there, there is a link via the General Secretariat for Information Systems to the Land Registry database and the Public Power Corporation, which enables the State to cross-check and verify the details of each building.
Now, the building identity for existing buildings will be drawn up when they are transferred and only once. For each subsequent transfer, it is sufficient for the current owner to issue a Certificate of Completeness.
