Lost certificates cannot be reissued if more than twenty-four (24) months have passed since the exam date. However, the Hellenic American Union can provide you with a document certifying the loss of your certificate. A fee to cover administrative costs is charged for this service.
If you need to have your certificate reissued or a certification of loss issued,please submit in person (Massalias 22, 10680, Athens, 9 am to 5 pm) or send to certificates@hau.gr the following:
In person submission:
