Synthèse factuelle
In Cyprus, a Certificate of Good Standing is issued by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver, located in Nicosia. This certificate confirms that a company is duly registered and compliant with its filing obligations as per the Companies Law, Cap. 113. To request the certificate, applicants must submit a formal application either online via the official e-services portal or in person at the Registrar's office. The certificate reflects the company's status based on records updated to the date of issue, including timely submission of annual returns and payment of required fees. The processing time typically ranges from 3 to 5 business days. Fees for issuing a Certificate of Good Standing are set by the Registrar and can be found on their official website. This document is often required for commercial transactions, opening bank accounts, or participation in tenders. The Registrar’s office is the sole authority for issuing such certificates, and no inference about a company’s standing should be made without obtaining the official document.
