Fast Search for Cyprus Certificate of Directors & Secretary

You can access the DRCIP online registry at efiling.drcor.mcit.gov.cy. The system offers a free basic company search showing names of directors and secretary, or a full company search for €10 that includes addresses and additional details. Searches require the company registration number or exact company name.

Yes, completely. Cyprus operates a fully transparent public registry where anyone can search and view director names, addresses, secretary details, and other company information. The DRCIP online portal provides both free basic searches and paid comprehensive reports.

While you can view information online, an official certificate provides DRCIP certification and stamping required for many formal purposes. Banks, government agencies, and international counterparties typically require certified documents rather than screenshots of online searches. The certificate also serves as apostille-ready documentation for overseas use.

Form HE4 is the official 'Notification of Change of Directors/Secretary' that Cyprus companies must file with DRCIP within 14 days of any appointment, resignation, or detail changes. The certificate reflects the most recent Form HE4 filings on record, showing the current management structure registered with the authority.

Under Companies Law, Cap. 113, changes must be filed within 14 days using Form HE4. This includes new director appointments, resignations, address changes, or secretary changes. Failure to file timely updates can result in penalties and outdated registry records.

Common uses include bank account opening or maintenance, company due diligence for transactions, legal proceedings requiring verified management details, apostille for international recognition, regulatory compliance submissions, and demonstrating current authorized signatories to third parties.

Yes. As a document from the DRCIP (a government authority), the certificate can be apostilled by the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs for recognition in Hague Convention countries. We offer apostille services as an add-on (US$249) to facilitate international document acceptance.

Searching yourself provides online registry information but requires navigating the Greek-language interface, understanding which search option to use (free vs paid), and downloading results without certification. Our service includes professional registry navigation, obtaining the official stamped certificate, English translation if needed, and certified digital delivery ready for your specific use case.

The certificate reflects information on file with DRCIP as of the issue date. If your company recently filed Form HE4 changes within the past 14 days, verify they have been processed by the registry before requesting your certificate to ensure the most current data appears.

For companies administered by Expanship, certificate retrieval is FREE. For other companies, our fee of US$199 includes full DRCIP registry search, official certificate procurement, professional translation to English if required, certified digital PDF delivery, and customer support. Add-ons available: Apostille (US$249), Notary certification (US$149), physical courier delivery (US$169).

Yes, because Cyprus operates a public registry. Anyone can obtain director and secretary information for any registered Cyprus company through DRCIP. However, for official certified certificates (rather than simple searches), companies often prefer to request through their corporate service provider or legal representative.

Official DRCIP certificates are issued in Greek, the official language of Cyprus government documents. We provide professional English translations as part of our service. For many international uses, both the original Greek certificate and English translation are required.
