Η έκδοση εγκρίνεται υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι έγινε ταυτοπροσωπία.

Η is the feminine singular nominative article, and έκδοση is a feminine singular noun. In this sentence, η έκδοση is the subject.

Greek uses the definite article much more often than English, especially in formal or administrative language. So where English might simply say issuance or the issuance depending on context, Greek very naturally says η έκδοση.

Not necessarily. Έκδοση is a noun with several possible meanings, including edition, version, publication, and issuance.

In an official sentence like this, it often means issuance or issuing, especially if the context is a document, certificate, permit, or similar administrative act. So this is not automatically about a book edition or software version.

Εγκρίνεται is the 3rd person singular present mediopassive form of εγκρίνω.

In formal Greek, the present tense is often used for official decisions, rules, or standing conditions. So it does not have to mean only is being approved right now. It can also mean something like is approved / may be approved / gets approved under the stated condition.

This is very common in bureaucratic and legal wording.

Because the focus is on the issuance receiving approval, not on who is doing the approving.

So Greek says η έκδοση εγκρίνεται, literally the issuance is approved. This is very similar to English official style, where the agent is often left unstated.

Yes. Υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι is a fixed, formal expression meaning on the condition that, provided that, or subject to the condition that.

A few useful points:

• υπό is quite formal/bookish in Modern Greek
• προϋπόθεση means condition or prerequisite
• the whole phrase is typical of legal, administrative, and official language

In less formal Greek, you will often see με την προϋπόθεση ότι instead.

Because προϋπόθεση is the object of the preposition υπό, so it appears here in the accusative singular: την προϋπόθεση.

So the structure is:

υπό + την προϋπόθεση

This is one of those places where learning the full phrase as a chunk is very helpful.

Ότι introduces the content of the condition: what that condition actually is.

So:

• υπό την προϋπόθεση = under the condition
• ότι έγινε ταυτοπροσωπία = that identity verification took place

In other words, ότι connects the noun condition to the full clause explaining that condition.

Έγινε is the aorist, 3rd person singular, of γίνομαι. Here it means took place, was carried out, or was done.

The aorist is used because the sentence refers to a completed action: the identity check must already have happened.

Compare the alternatives:

• γίνεται = is happening / takes place
• έχει γίνει = has taken place / has been done

In this sentence, έγινε presents the check as a completed event, which fits the official style well.

Because γίνομαι is often used in Greek for events, procedures, and official actions that take place or are carried out.

So έγινε ταυτοπροσωπία is a bureaucratic way of saying that an identity-matching or identity-verification procedure was performed.

This may feel slightly different from English, because English often prefers a verb like conduct or perform, while Greek very naturally uses γίνεται / έγινε in such contexts.

Ταυτοπροσωπία is a formal administrative/legal noun. It refers to verifying that the person is indeed the same person they claim to be, or that the person matches the identity details/documents.

It is not a very everyday word. A learner is much more likely to meet it in official paperwork than in casual conversation.

Because in official Greek, procedural or abstract nouns are often used without an article when referring to the process in a general sense.

So έγινε ταυτοπροσωπία is similar in style to phrases like:

• έγινε έλεγχος
• έγινε ταυτοποίηση
• έγινε επιβεβαίωση

The absence of the article makes it sound like a standard administrative procedure rather than a specific, previously mentioned instance.

Yes. This sentence is very formal and bureaucratic. A less formal version might replace υπό with με, since με την προϋπόθεση ότι is more common in ordinary Modern Greek.

So the sentence would still be correct and slightly less stiff as:

Η έκδοση εγκρίνεται με την προϋπόθεση ότι έγινε ταυτοπροσωπία.

The overall tone, though, is still official because of words like έκδοση and ταυτοπροσωπία.
