Greek Prime Minister chairs meeting on driving licence renewal online

Greece is forging ahead with the digitalisation of processes for renewing driving licences and issuing replacement copies of vehicle registration papers, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced on Monday at a meeting organized at the Maximos Mansion with the ministers involved, ANA reports.
"We are completely changing the process, we are making it digital. We are reducing bureaucracy and the possible petty corruption that may hide behind the present process," Mitsotakis said. 
He also expressed keen interest in discussing ideas for a digital 'car wallet' that allows all documents relating to vehicles, such as driving licences, registration, insurance, roadworthiness inspections and others, to be stored digitally on a user's phone.
Future plans include the creation of a digital 'car wallet' that will allow users to store all documentation needed for their vehicles on their phone, the online transfer of registration to new owners, a driver behaviour point system and online issue of tachograph cards for professional drivers, especially long-distance lorry drivers.
