How to search for company data in Cyprus?

By Christopher Dosin

10 min read

The Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies (D.R.C.) is the primary official government body responsible for maintaining records of registered businesses in Cyprus.

Accessing information through the D.R.C. can be a straightforward process if you know where to look and what you need. Below is a guide on how to effectively use their services.

We also made a short YouTube video that shows you the process.

Using the Official Portal

The D.R.C. provides an online portal that allows users to search for company information. The portal can be accessed at https://efiling.drcor.mcit.gov.cy/. Through this portal, you can find valuable details about any registered company in Cyprus, including basic company data, directors, shareholders, and financial filings.

NOTE

For each company data file you need to pay 10.00 EUR. This is an official service from the Cypriot Gouvernement. You don't have to pay 50.00 EUR or even more for services that want to sell you these data.

Register for Government
e-Services

To be able to gain deeper insights such as previous audits from companies, you need to have a Government e-Services account first.

  1. Go to the Government e-Services page
  2. Click on create a company profile to create a profile

Upon successful account creation, you gain access to the platform's comprehensive search functionality, enabling you to retrieve all submitted financial documents for a specific company.

Let's proceed with conducting a search to obtain an audit report from an actual company. To initiate this process, we must first locate the company within the company register by entering its official name.
