Greece

Data Sources

Greece uses a single official registry operated by the Union of Hellenic Chambers of Commerce.

Γ.Ε.ΜΗ. (Γενικό Εμπορικό Μητρώο) — General Commercial Registry (GEMI) — Maintained by the Union of Hellenic Chambers of Commerce since 2012, GEMI is the sole data source for all Greek commercial entities. Accessible via the GEMI Open Data API at businessportal.gr, it provides structured data for company profiles, legal representatives, shareholders, activity codes, documents, and corporate announcements. A separate GEMI Publicity Portal (publicity.businessportal.gr) provides printable trade register extracts.

Rate Limit: The GEMI Open Data API enforces a rate limit of 8 requests per minute. Rate limiting is handled automatically.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Company Type	Source	Format	Example	Notes
All commercial entities	GEMI	7-12 digits (GEMI Number)	`31301000`	Primary identifier for company profile lookups

GEMI Number Format: GEMI numbers are numeric codes of 7-12 digits. Main companies typically end in 000 (e.g., 31301000), while branches end in other digits (e.g., 31301001). Only main company numbers are accepted for the companyProfile endpoint.

GEMI Number only for company profile. The companyProfile endpoint only accepts the GEMI Number. To look up a company by VAT number or name, use the search endpoint first to retrieve the GEMI Number, then use that for the profile request.

Identifiers in API Response

Once you retrieve company data, the identifiers object contains all available identifiers for that entity:

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Found In
`gemiNumber`	7-12 digits	`31301000`	All companies
`vatNumber`	EL + 9 digits	`EL093808863`	VAT-registered companies
`taxNumber`	9 digits (AFM)	`093808863`	All companies with tax registration

VAT derived from AFM: Greek VAT numbers are simply EL + AFM (Tax Number). For example, AFM 093808863 becomes VAT EL093808863. Note that Greece uses the prefix EL (not GR) for EU VAT purposes.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By GEMI Number	7+ digits	`31301000`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By VAT Number	EL + 9 digits	`EL093808863`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By VAT (plain AFM)	9 digits	`093808863`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By VAT (GR prefix)	GR + 9 digits	`GR093808863`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By Name	Text string (min 2 chars)	`"CHEMCE"`	Fuzzy	Multiple results (up to 100)

Search Performance: Use identifier-based searches (GEMI Number, VAT) for best performance and exact matching. Name searches use tokenized fuzzy matching and may return multiple results. Search is free (no SKU charge).

Company Status

Company status is mapped deterministically from the GEMI API’s official metadata endpoint (metadata/companyStatuses). All 12 GEMI status codes are mapped to standardized statuses.

Active Statuses

ID	Greek Status	English	Standardized Status	Notes
3	Ενεργή	Active	Active	Standard active status
4	Σε Αδράνεια	Dormant	Active	Legally active but not operating

Insolvency Statuses

5	Πτώχευση	Bankruptcy	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Bankruptcy
15	Διαδικασία Συνδιαλλαγής	Conciliation Procedure	Under Insolvency Proceeding	—
19	Αναγκαστική διαχείριση	Forced Administration	Under Insolvency Proceeding	—

Closed Statuses

ID	Greek Status	English	Standardized Status	Closure Reason
7	Λύση - Εκκαθάριση	Dissolution - Liquidation	Closed	Liquidation
17	Διαγραφή	Deletion	Closed	Administrative Dissolution
18	Διαγραφή λόγω συγχώνευσης	Deletion due to Merger	Closed	Merger
20	Διαγραφή λόγω διάσπασης	Deletion due to Division	Closed	Other

Other Statuses

All legal form mappings are deterministic, not AI-enriched. The local Greek abbreviation is always preserved alongside the English translation, standardized form, and ISO 20275 code.

Legal Representatives

Legal representatives are extracted from the GEMI registry’s persons array. Role classification (legal representative vs. other key person) is AI-enriched — the AI analyzes each person’s role text, category, and representation flags to determine classification.

Person Categories from GEMI

Greek Category	English	Contains
Διοικητικό συμβούλιο	Board of Directors	Board members for AE (SA) companies
Εταίροι	Partners	Partners for partnerships and LLCs
Λοιπές ιδιότητες διοίκησης	Other Management Roles	Liquidators, receivers, special administrators

Common Greek Roles

Executive & Management Roles

Greek Role	English Translation	Typical Classification
Πρόεδρος	President / Chairman	Legal Representative
Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος	Managing Director / CEO	Legal Representative
Πρόεδρος & Διευθ. Σύμβουλ	Chairman & Managing Director	Legal Representative
Διαχειριστής	Manager	Legal Representative
Μέλος & Διαχειριστής	Partner & Manager	Legal Representative
Εκκαθαριστής	Liquidator	Legal Representative

Board & Supervisory Roles

Greek Role	English Translation	Typical Classification
Αντιπρόεδρος	Vice President	Other Key Person
Εκτελεστικό Μέλος	Executive Member	Other Key Person
Μη Εκτελεστικό Μέλος	Non-Executive Member	Other Key Person
Ανεξάρτητο μη Εκτελεστικό Μέλος	Independent Non-Executive Member	Other Key Person
Μέλος	Board Member	Other Key Person

Partner Roles

Greek Role	English Translation	Typical Classification
Ομόρρυθμο Μέλος	General Partner	Shareholder (not key person)
Ετερόρρυθμο Μέλος	Limited Partner	Shareholder (not key person)

AI Role Classification: Role names in GEMI are free-form Greek text, not standardized codes. The AI parser classifies each person based on their role text, category, and representation flags (isRepresentativeAlone, isRepresentativeInCommon). Partners who only hold shares but have no management role are filtered out of key persons and placed in the shareholders array instead.

Representation Rights: For board members (AE companies), the canRepresentAlone field indicates whether the representative can act on behalf of the company individually or must act jointly with others.

Shareholders

Shareholders are extracted from the GEMI persons array for applicable company types. Only persons in the “Εταίροι” (Partners) category with a populated ownership percentage are included.

Legal Forms with Shareholders

ID	Local Name	English	Notes
19	ΙΚΕ	Private Company	Members with share percentages
8	ΕΠΕ	Limited Liability Company	Members with share participation
2	ΟΕ	General Partnership	General partners with percentages
4	ΕΕ	Limited Partnership	General and limited partners
11	Συνεταιρισμός	Cooperative	Members with percentages
66	Κοιν.Σ.Επ.	Social Cooperative Enterprise	Members with percentages
65	Ενεργειακή Κοινότητα	Energy Community	Members with percentages

Ownership Fields

Field	Description	Source
`sharePercentage`	Ownership percentage (0-100)	Parsed from GEMI `percentage` field
`nominalCapitalHeld`	Calculated capital held	`totalCapital * sharePercentage / 100`
`type`	Individual or Company	Determined from `personName` vs `businessName`

Corporations (AE) do not expose shareholders in the public GEMI registry. Shareholder information for corporations is typically only disclosed in annual reports. Only partnerships, private companies, LLCs, and cooperatives provide shareholder data via the API.

Corporate shareholders: As of January 2026, corporate shareholders (legal entities as partners) have not been observed in the GEMI Open Data API. All persons entries have personName populated. Corporate ownership may be stored separately in the share registry and not exposed via the Open Data API.

Activity Code Mapping

Greece uses the KAD (Κωδικός Αριθμός Δραστηριότητας) classification, which extends the European NACE Rev. 2 standard with Greek-specific subdivisions. The system maps activity codes across three levels, all deterministically (no AI inference):

KAD XXYYZZZZ (Greek) → NACE XX.YY (European) → ISIC (International, via correspondence table)

Classification	Source	Example	AI Inferred?
KAD	GEMI registry	`62010000`	No (official)
NACE	Derived from KAD (first 4 digits → XX.YY)	`62.01`	No (deterministic)
ISIC	Derived from NACE (official correspondence table)	`6201`	No (deterministic)

All activity code mappings are deterministic for Greece. Unlike some countries, ISIC codes are derived from NACE via the official NACE-to-ISIC correspondence table, not via AI. The isAIInferred flag is always false. KAD descriptions are preserved in Greek from the GEMI registry.

KAD Code Structure: KAD codes are 8 digits (XXYYZZZZ), where the first 4 digits correspond to NACE Rev. 2 (XX.YY) and the last 4 digits are Greek-specific subdivisions. For example, KAD 62010000 maps to NACE 62.01 (Computer programming activities).

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
GEMI Number only for company profile	The `companyProfile` endpoint only accepts the GEMI Number. VAT numbers and company names must use the search endpoint first to retrieve the GEMI Number.
VAT uses EL prefix, not GR	Greek VAT numbers use the EU prefix `EL` (not the ISO country code `GR`). For example, AFM `093808863` becomes `EL093808863`. Both `EL` and `GR` prefixes are accepted in search.
KAD codes extend NACE	Greek KAD codes are 8 digits (`XXYYZZZZ`), where the first 4 digits correspond to NACE Rev. 2 (`XX.YY`). The last 4 digits are Greek-specific subdivisions.
ISIC is fully deterministic	Unlike some countries, ISIC codes for Greece are derived deterministically from NACE via the official correspondence table, not via AI. The `isAIInferred` flag is always `false`.
Shareholders limited to certain forms	Shareholder data is only available for partnerships (OE, EE), private companies (IKE), LLCs (EPE), and cooperatives. Corporations (AE) do not expose shareholders in the public registry.
No UBO data	Ultimate Beneficial Owner data is maintained in a separate register (Μητρώο Πραγματικών Δικαιούχων) managed by the Ministry of Finance and is not publicly accessible.
All documents are free	All GEMI documents (decisions and publications) are available for free download. The Trade Register Extract is generated by scraping the GEMI Publicity Portal.
12 possible GEMI statuses	GEMI has 12 status codes including Active, Dormant, Pre-registration, Bankruptcy, Dissolution, Deletion (various reasons), Forced Administration, Conciliation, and Suspension.
Dormant = legally active	Companies with status “Σε Αδράνεια” (Dormant) are mapped as `active: true` because dormant companies are still legally registered entities, just not operating.
Greek text preserved	Legal names, addresses, activity descriptions, and status names are preserved in Greek. English names are returned when available in the registry. Addresses are geocoded via Google Geocoding API.
Rate limit: 8 req/min	The GEMI Open Data API enforces a strict rate limit of 8 requests per minute. Rate limiting is handled automatically.
AI-enriched role classification	Legal representative vs. other key person classification is AI-enriched because GEMI stores roles as free-form Greek text without standardized codes. The AI also produces English translations and standardized role names.
Percentage format inconsistency	GEMI returns ownership percentages in inconsistent formats: `"91%"`, `"9%"`, `"0.994"` (meaning 99.4%), or `"-"` (no percentage). The system normalizes all formats to 0-100 scale.
Trade Register Extract via scraping	The Trade Register Extract is not available through the GEMI Open Data API. It requires web scraping of the GEMI Publicity Portal (`publicity.businessportal.gr`), which generates a bilingual (English/Greek) PDF. TTL is 1 day.
