CompanyData.com.cy operates a free, searchable index of the Cyprus company register. Every field derives from register extracts lawfully published by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property — nothing is estimated, scored or editorially amended.
Below: our sources and refresh commitments, our independence from the Registrar, the legal instruments under which we process personal data, the known limitations of the dataset, and the procedure for exercising data subject rights.
Four stages, no intermediary vendors, and no manual amendment of register values at any point.
Incorporations, officer changes and annual returns are filed by the company with the DRCIP under the Companies Law, Cap. 113. The register, not this index, constitutes the legal record.
The Registrar publishes register extracts on the national open data portal, data.gov.cy, under the licence terms stated on dataset 1026. We re-use them on those terms, with attribution.
The published files are re-imported in full once per week. Processing is limited to search normalisation — casing, whitespace, Greek transliteration. Source values are retained verbatim.
Each profile cites the dataset and import date it reflects, so any field can be verified against the government publication it came from.
The Republic of Cyprus has no authority named “Companies House”; that name belongs to the United Kingdom register. The Cypriot register is maintained by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property, part of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry, which alone may issue certificates carrying legal standing. The division of responsibility is as follows.
| Function | Official Registrar (DRCIP) | CompanyData.com.cy |
|---|---|---|
| Legal record of an entity | Definitive | A searchable copy only |
| Free search in English | Limited public search | Full, no account required |
| Status, registry number, registered office | Authoritative | Free on every profile |
| Incorporation and statutory filings | All filings are made here | Never performed |
| Certified certificates | Sole issuer | Neither issued nor resold |
| Amending a register value | Filed with, and effected by, the DRCIP | Re-synchronised from source |
| Beneficial ownership data | Held in the separate UBO register | Not held, not published |
CompanyData.com.cy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus or the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property. For incorporation, statutory filings and documents with legal effect, use the official Registrar.
Each entry states the instrument and the specific obligation it places on us. Where a control is in progress rather than certified, it is marked as such.
Personal data appearing in the register — names of officers, registered addresses — is processed under Article 6(1)(f), our legitimate interest in corporate transparency, balanced against the rights of the individuals concerned.
Supplemented in Cyprus by Law 125(I)/2018; supervised by the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection.
The statute establishing the Cyprus register and the filing obligations of every company, partnership, business name and overseas branch. It is the reason the underlying facts are public, and it defines the fields we display.
As transposed in Cyprus, this is the basis on which register extracts published on data.gov.cy may be re-used commercially. We re-use dataset 1026 on its published licence terms and attribute the Registrar as source on every page.
We are aligning our information security management system to ISO/IEC 27001. Certification has not yet been issued and we make no claim to hold it.
In operation today: encryption in transit, least-privilege access to the import pipeline, and no storage of user accounts, passwords or payment data.
Register data supports customer and counterparty due diligence but does not by itself discharge any obligated entity’s KYB duties. Beneficial ownership is held in a separate Cypriot register to which we have no access and which we do not republish.
A complete re-import of the published register is performed once every seven days. Where the Registrar’s publication is delayed, the affected profiles continue to state the import date they reflect rather than presenting stale data as current.
Stating limitations plainly is part of being reliable. The index reproduces a government publication faithfully, which means it also reproduces that publication’s gaps and lag.
For any decision with legal or financial consequence, verify against a document issued by the Registrar.
If you appear in the register as an officer or your address is recorded as a registered office, you may exercise the rights conferred by Articles 15 to 22 GDPR in respect of our copy. Requests are acknowledged on receipt and answered within one month, extendable once by two further months for complex requests, as provided by Article 12(3).
Send the registry number, the field in dispute and the right you are invoking to the contact below.
We verify the field against the published extract and confirm whether the value originates from the Registrar.
Where the register itself is wrong, the correction must be filed with the DRCIP as controller. We suppress or annotate the disputed field pending that filing.
Once the Registrar publishes the amended extract, the weekly import carries it through and the annotation is lifted.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Cyprus Commissioner for Personal Data Protection.
CompanyData.com.cy is operated from Limassol, Cyprus. The service is funded independently of any company appearing in the register; no entity can pay to alter, promote or remove its record.
Explanatory material on the site — guides to registry number formats, filing obligations and search procedure — is written against the primary sources cited in it and dated on publication.

No. CompanyData.com.cy is an independent commercial service. The official register is maintained by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property (DRCIP), which alone may issue certified certificates with legal standing. We neither file with nor act on behalf of the Registrar.
From register extracts published by the DRCIP on the national open data portal, data.gov.cy, as dataset 1026. We re-import the published files in full once every seven days and attribute the Registrar as source.
Re-use of public sector information lawfully published by the Registrar, processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in corporate transparency, balanced against the rights of the individuals concerned — in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Cyprus Law 125(I)/2018.
Submit the registry number, the disputed field and the right you are invoking to the data protection contact on this page. Where the official register is itself incorrect, the correction must be filed with the DRCIP as controller of that register; we suppress or annotate the disputed field pending the filing and carry the amendment through at the next weekly import.
Yes. Search, company profiles, registered addresses and the A–Z directory are free of charge and require no account, and we collect no payment data.
A full re-import runs weekly, so our copy is never more than seven days behind the Registrar's most recent publication. The Registrar's own publication cadence and the filing-to-publication interval sit upstream of that and are outside our control. Each profile states the import date it reflects.
It supports due diligence but does not discharge any obligated entity's statutory duties. Officer and shareholder coverage in the published extract is partial, beneficial ownership is held in a separate Cypriot register we do not access, and documents with legal standing must be obtained from the Registrar.
Not yet. Our information security management system is being aligned to ISO/IEC 27001; certification has not been issued and we make no claim to hold it. Controls in operation today are listed in the regulatory framework section above.
