Is myPhoto down? User reports show no current problems with myPhoto
myPhoto is the Greek state service that holds your official digital photo and signature for ID documents. A certified photographer uploads the files and gives you a code, and you link that code to your tax number after signing in. Public services then pull the photo with your permission for ID cards and licences.

Is myPhoto down right now?
This page follows the myPhoto status with live myPhoto down reports from citizens and photo studios across Greece. The sign-in step depends on the tax system, so a login fault here sometimes starts outside myPhoto itself. Compare your failing step with the fresh reports before you visit the studio again.
Studios feel upload faults first, while citizens meet the service at the code linking step. When reports from both sides rise together, the platform itself is struggling.
Is myPhoto down for me or everyone?
Try signing in from a phone browser using mobile data instead of your home network. A login that completes there points to a local browser or connection issue. When the code step fails identically everywhere and reports climb, the cause is a myPhoto outage on the state side.
How does the myPhoto code link a photo to you?
The photographer uploads your photo and signature and hands you a code number or QR code for the files. You sign in with Taxisnet codes, enter the code and confirm, which ties the files to your tax number. From then on, services you approve can fetch the photo directly.
The link step is where most problems happen, because a mistyped code or an expired studio upload breaks the match.
Where do photographers upload photos in myPhoto?
Certified photographers and studio staff sign in with their business or personal Taxisnet codes and use the upload area built for them. The upload asks for the client photo and a signature sample taken on the studio pad.
What can you authorise with your myPhoto files?
Inside your account you consent to named services pulling your photo and signature for a document. ID card issuance and driving licence services are the most common users of the files.
Which myPhoto step needs the verified phone number?
Signing in asks for a confirmation code sent by text message to the phone registered in the national contact registry. An unverified or outdated number blocks the login before it starts.
Common myPhoto Problems and Fixes
myPhoto trouble usually sits in the code linking step, the text message confirmation or a studio upload that the system refused. Pick the repair written for your exact screen below.
Photo code is rejected at the linking step
Type the code characters exactly as the studio printed them, watching for similar letters and digits. Ask the studio to confirm the upload finished, because an incomplete upload issues a code that matches nothing. Linking from the QR scan avoids typing errors entirely.
SMS confirmation code never arrives
Check that the phone number in the national contact registry is your current one, since the code goes only there. A phone set to block unknown senders can hide the message. Wait a few minutes before requesting a second code, or the first one expires unused.
Studio upload fails the photo checks
Reshoot against a plain light background with even lighting, because shadows and busy backdrops fail the automatic checks. Remove glasses if the system flags reflections. The studio software shows which check failed, so fix that point rather than reshooting blindly.
QR code will not scan from the printout
Wipe the camera lens and hold the paper flat under steady light, since creases break QR patterns. Enter the printed code number by hand as a fallback. A code reprint from the studio is free and takes a minute.
Photo linked but the service cannot fetch it
Open your consent list and confirm the service asking for the photo holds an active approval. Consent given for one document type does not cover another.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I link my studio photo in myPhoto?
Sign in with Taxisnet codes, type the code your photographer gave you or scan its QR code, and confirm the link. The files then attach to your tax number.
Where does the myPhoto confirmation code go?
The code goes by text message to the mobile number registered for you in the national contact registry. It never goes to email or to the studio. An outdated registry number is the usual reason nothing arrives.
Does myPhoto store a photo taken on my own phone?
No, the files come from certified photographers who upload them through the studio side of the service. Selfies and home photos are not accepted for official documents.
What documents use the photo stored in myPhoto?
ID cards, driving licences and passports are the main documents drawing on the stored photo and signature. Each service asks your consent before it fetches the files. Your account lists the services with active access.
Can the photographer see my other myPhoto data?
No, the studio side only uploads files and receives the client code. Photographers cannot open your account, your consent list or your other documents.
What proves my identity when I sign in to myPhoto?
The tax system identity check proves the photo files attach to the right person before any service can use them. Your studio code alone cannot open the account. This keeps ID photos from being linked to the wrong tax number.
