I live outside the US and register scripts with the WGA all the time.
https://www.wgawregistry.org/webrss/dataentry.aspThe menu lets you choose between "social security number" "driver's licence" or "other". Choose "other" and use your greek ID number.

There is one more problem... my id number has greek letters too, letters that you cant type them in english.... Is there any hope?

I don't think that should be a problem. Maybe you can type only the numbers and leave out the greek letters. E-mail them with your concerns, I'm sure they'll give you a solution.

Hi,
I am in the UK and registered my script with WGA. I contacted them and they confirmed I could select the "other" option. Get in touch, you'll get a swift reply.

There's always the Library of Congress... The better choice in my opinion.

Hi Phil,
Interesting that you say the Library of Congress is a better choice. Can I ask why?
Thanks,
Paul

Registering your script with the WGA costs $20 and last for only five years. After that, you have to pay again to re-register or they dispose of your file. Registering with the Library of Congress costs $35 dollars (if you file online) and lasts for seventy years after you die.
