If you are a representative of a recognised animal welfare association or a non-profit animal welfare organisation, based in Greece or with a member state of the European Union operating in Greece, you can manage your registration in the Register of animal welfare associations and organisations that is part of the Register of Pet Animals.

Specifically through the application, you can

• subscribe to Register
• update your registration
• unsubscribe from the register

It is a condition that, on the day of your registration, your statutory purposes include the collection, care, treatment, promotion and finding of adoption, fostering, neutering, marking, registration and promotion of animal welfare.

The registration process takes place in stages:

1. Application for registration

Enter the necessary information about your association or organisation. At this stage, your application can be saved and reprocessed until final submission.
After final submission, the application is evaluated at a later stage and you can view the outcome of the evaluation through the application. An email will also be sent to the email address you provided in the application.

2. Partial and full approval of registration

If there is partial approval of the application, you must update the application data within one (1) month and resubmit it. After this period of time, the application shall be rejected.

If the application is fully approved, your association or organisation is registered in the Register. The information posted in the Register is publicly accessible.

3. Appointment of representatives

After registering in the Register the legal representative of the association or organisation may appoint one or more representatives (using the Tax Identification Number (AFM)).

The legal representatives of the association or organisation may:

• directly update specific data without further approval being required 
• submit a request for updating or deletion, procedures which require approval at a later stage

You will need the Taxisnet credentials of the legal person for registration, updating or deletion from the register.

In the case of a animal welfare association or organisation that does not have a Tax Identification Number (AFM), the creation of an account in the National Register of Pet Animals is required.
