Frequently Asked Questions
Essential information about obtaining your Cyprus Certificate of Shareholders
The Certificate of Shareholders can be requested by authorized parties including company directors, the company secretary, shareholders, and individuals with proper written authorization from these officers. The company must be incorporated in Cyprus, maintain current statutory records, and remain in good standing (not dissolved or struck off).
While Cyprus companies file annual returns containing shareholder information with the Registrar of Companies, the Certificate of Shareholders is a distinct document prepared directly from the company's own statutory records. It provides current ownership details in a certified format specifically prepared for the requesting party, rather than being retrieved from the DRCIP public registry.
The certificate includes each shareholder's complete legal name and registered address, exact number of shares held, share types and classes, ownership percentages, paid-up capital details, total authorized and issued share capital, and formal certification of accuracy as of the certificate date.
The Certificate of Shareholders can be prepared in Greek, English, or both languages depending on your requirements. Cyprus being a bilingual jurisdiction for corporate documentation allows flexibility in language choice to meet various business needs.
Common scenarios include opening corporate bank accounts in Cyprus or abroad, proving ownership structure for due diligence purposes, demonstrating beneficial ownership for compliance requirements, supporting legal or commercial transactions, satisfying regulatory reporting obligations, or providing ownership verification to business partners or investors.
These serve entirely different purposes. A Certificate of Shareholders is a comprehensive document listing all shareholders and their complete ownership details for the entire company. Individual Share Certificates are separate documents issued to each shareholder as personal proof of their specific shareholding. One provides a company-wide ownership overview; the other provides individual ownership evidence.
No, while certain shareholder information is filed in annual returns with the Registrar of Companies, the Certificate of Shareholders itself is a document prepared from company records and is confidential to authorized parties. Third parties cannot obtain this certificate without proper authorization from the company.
Most Certificate of Shareholders requests are processed within 3-5 business days from initial request through preparation, certification, and delivery. The timeline includes preparing the document from current records, formal certification, and secure delivery in your preferred format.
Our comprehensive service includes extracting current shareholder data from statutory records, preparing the certificate in your requested language, obtaining proper certification, producing high-quality PDF and physical copies as needed, and providing secure delivery with expert support throughout.
