The above mentioned persons should carry their police identity card or a valid passport along with any other necessary legal documents, e.g. Authorization, which should be certified by a Public Authority (Police or KEP etc.) and should explicitly state the issuance reason. Authorization can also be drawn up at the Citizen Service Office of our Hospital.
