Reserve the name on the national e-registry and submit a complete incorporation packet in one session: have three name alternatives, signed memorandum and articles, director and shareholder ID scans, a verified registered office address, and card payment details ready before logging in.

Step-by-step timeline

0–30 minutes: Check availability using the online name-check tool; enter three variants (exact spelling, spacing, and legal ending). Ensure the chosen ending is "Limited" or "Ltd".

30–90 minutes: Complete the online reservation form and pay the reservation fee; download the reservation receipt and save as PDF with filename like "NameReserve_YYYYMMDD.pdf".

90–180 minutes: Prepare incorporation documents from a template: memorandum & articles, statement of directors, registered office declaration, subscriber sheet with share allocation. Convert each to flattened PDF and apply signatures.

3–6 hours: Upload all PDFs to the filing portal in the required order, attach ID and proof-of-address for each director/shareholder (PDF scans), submit payment for filing fees and request expedited processing if available.

6–24 hours: Monitor the portal for queries; respond immediately to any requests for clarification or corrected documents. If no objections are raised and all documents comply, the electronic certificate of incorporation is usually issued the same day.

Required documents, formatting and practical tips

Mandatory files: name reservation receipt, memorandum & articles, list of directors with nationalities and addresses, company secretary details, subscriber sheet showing share capital and allotments, ID and proof of address for each person. All documents must be in PDF; scans should be 300 dpi and under 5 MB per file.

Signatures: use original wet signatures scanned to PDF or an accepted qualified electronic signature. If any signature originates abroad and the portal requires authentication, have that page notarised and apostilled before upload.

Avoid common rejections: (1) choosing a name similar to an existing trademark or registered name – check trademark databases before reserving; (2) missing registered office address in the jurisdiction – provide a local address or use a registered agent; (3) unsigned or illegible PDFs – name files clearly and use searchable text where possible.

Speed tactics: prepare all ID scans and a completed template of the memorandum & articles in advance; use a local registered agent to sign on behalf of the company where permitted; include two alternative names to prevent delays from a name conflict.

Follow-up: after filing, download and archive the incorporation certificate, share register, and subscription agreements immediately. Order company seals and statutory registers only after the certificate issues to avoid wasted costs.

Exact Documents, Identification and Notarisation Steps for Same-Day Registrar Submission

Immediate instruction: arrive at the notary with originals plus two full sets of certified copies and one set of signed originals ready for delivery; schedule the notary appointment for no later than 11:00 AM to meet typical same-day registry cut-offs.

Required identity documents: original passport or national ID for each signatory (show passport biodata page, passport number, issuing authority and expiry date). Prepare a secondary photo ID if available. Provide one recent proof of residential address per person dated within 90 days (bank statement, utility bill or government letter) in original.

Corporate documentation: bring original incorporation certificate, current list of directors and shareholders, memorandum and articles (signed where required), board resolution authorising signatories, and certificate of incumbency if signatory is a corporate entity. For any corporate signatory provide certified copy of the entity’s authorising instrument and the authorised person’s ID.

Signatures and signing procedure: sign all documents in blue ink in front of the notary when requested; do not pre-sign documents unless instructed. Write full printed names and capacity (e.g., director, shareholder) beneath each signature and include the date in DD/MM/YYYY format next to signatures.

Notarisation checklist: notary must certify identity by recording document type, ID number and expiry, and must apply stamp/seal and signature on each certified copy; request the notary to add a short statement: "Certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me" with date and notary registration number.

Witness rules: where witness signatures are required use independent adult witnesses (not family/beneficiaries). Witness must show original photo ID; witness name, ID number and signature must be recorded on the document.

Translations and foreign documents: any document not in the registry language requires a sworn translator’s certified translation (translator stamp and signature). Foreign public documents must be apostilled if from a Hague Convention country; if no apostille route exists, obtain consular legalisation before notarisation.

Timing and submission window: confirm local registry cut-off (commonly between 14:00–16:00). Allow 30–60 minutes for notarial formalities and 15–30 minutes for registry intake. For same-day acceptance plan to be at the registry counter at least 90 minutes before published cut-off.

Fees and charges (typical ranges): notarial certification €25–€80 per document; apostille €20–€50; sworn translation €30–€70 per page; registry filing fees vary–expect €100–€400 depending on case. Carry exact change and a bank card; obtain receipts for every payment.

Final verification before leaving notary: confirm each certified copy carries the notary’s signature, seal and registration number; verify translations bear translator stamp; ensure originals retain necessary wet signatures and that copies match originals page-for-page; prepare one sealed envelope for immediate delivery to the registry counter.

Paying Registrar Fees: Accepted Methods, Cost Breakdown and Live Submission Tracking

Pay with a card or SEPA transfer and include the filing reference in the payment field; upload the receipt (PDF) to the portal within 24 hours to ensure immediate reconciliation.

Accepted payment methods

Card payments: Visa and MasterCard accepted; 3D Secure enabled; instant settlement shows as "paid" on the portal. AMEX acceptance depends on the gateway and may incur a higher processing fee.

SEPA bank transfer: credit posts within 1 business day if sent before the payer bank cutoff; use the exact IBAN/BIC provided on the portal and place the filing ID in the transfer reference. SWIFT: allow 2–4 business days for intermediary banks and reconciliation; obtain MT103 for proof.

Local payment services / e-wallets: accepted only if the portal lists them (PayPal or local processor). Cash at counter: available by appointment only and limited by cash-handling rules. Cheques: accepted rarely and subject to a 10–15 business-day clearance delay; avoid cheques when speed matters.

Payments by agents or law firms: pay from a client account and include both the client name and filing reference; when an agent pays, attach a client authorization letter to the submission.

Cost breakdown and live tracking

Typical fee components (examples): name reservation €15; filing fee €100–€150 (standard); certified copy €3–€7 per document; expedited processing surcharge €150–€300 depending on the requested turnaround; late-filing penalties from €50 up to €350 depending on delay length. Agent/service fees and taxes are separate.

Tracking workflow and expected timings: after payment you receive a submission ID and payment receipt. Portal statuses: Received (card: immediate; transfer: when funds clear), Under review (1–5 business days), Decision issued (1–10 business days), Rejected (portal provides deficiency list). SWIFT payments add reconciliation time–expect status delay of up to 3 additional business days.

To speed resolution: (1) include the submission ID in the bank reference exactly (example: APP-123456 / ACME LTD); (2) upload payment proof as a single PDF ≤5 MB or attach MT103 if wired; (3) email the support channel with the submission ID and payment trace if status doesn't change within 48–72 hours after funds clear. Save screenshots and the payment transaction number for at least 12 months.

If you need expedited confirmation, request the paid priority service via the portal and attach proof of the priority fee payment; priority requests that include MT103 are verified faster than those relying on manual bank statements.

Questions and Answers:

What is a Registrar of Companies extract from Cyprus?

A Registrar extract is an official record issued by the Cyprus Registrar of Companies that shows registered details about a company: legal name, registration number, date of incorporation, registered office address, names of directors and company secretary, share capital and shareholders where filed. It is the government-issued proof of the company's registration status.

How quickly can I get the document delivered?

See also: Cyprus company setup.

If the company is already registered and the record is available online, we can usually obtain and deliver an electronic extract within the same business day. For certified paper copies or searches requiring manual handling the time is typically 1–5 business days depending on the registrar’s workload and the delivery method you choose (email, courier, or postal service). Urgent courier options can shorten physical delivery to 24–48 hours once the copy is issued.

What information and authorisation do you need from me to request the extract?

Provide the exact company name and, where available, the registration number. If you are requesting on behalf of the company or a third party, upload a signed authorisation letter or a power of attorney; some requests require notarisation and an apostille. Also include a copy of your ID or passport, contact details, and the preferred delivery method. If you need a certified or notarised copy, tell us so at the time of order to allow for the correct processing steps.

Will banks, government agencies or foreign authorities accept this Cyprus Registrar extract?

Yes — an extract issued by the Cyprus Registrar is an official government document and is commonly accepted by banks, regulators and other authorities as proof of a company’s registration. Some recipients, especially foreign banks or government bodies, may ask for an apostille or a certified translation into their language. In certain cases they request a specific type of certificate (for example a certificate of good standing rather than a general extract). If you have a particular institution in mind, tell us their exact requirement so we can obtain the correct document and any additional authentication that may be needed.
