Police Note
This document proves that the police have identified and registered you. You receive it when you first enter Greece. Yours may look different from this one.
Police upload all the personal data on your Police Note to the Alkyoni police computer system. This system is connected to the Eurodac system, where your fingerprints are stored.
Make sure all your personal information is correct on the card. Ask for corrections if you find mistakes. You have the right to ask for a translator to help you check or correct your information.
