In Cyprus, obtaining a certified copy of a company's memorandum and articles of association is governed by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver. When the original document is provided for certification, the fee is €40. If the original document is not provided, the fee increases to €50. The application must be submitted to the Registrar's office in Nicosia, either in person or through a registered agent. Processing times typically range from 2 to 5 business days. These certified copies serve as official evidence of the company's constitutional documents and are often required for legal and commercial transactions. Payment can be made via bank draft or at the Registrar's office. Official sources include the Cyprus Registrar of Companies website and the Companies Law Cap. 113.
