Frequently asked questions about the Cyprus KYB API
What company data can I verify in Cyprus?
For a Cyprus company, the API returns the company record read live from the DRCOR: the entity name, type, status, registration number, address, and registration date, along with the controlling parties, the shareholders and beneficial owners, and the available registry documents. See the table above for the full Cyprus availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Cyprus companies?
The API resolves the controlling parties, shareholders, and beneficial owners for Cyprus companies and exposes them as a recursive ownership org-chart (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/org-chart), tracing control through holding companies to the individual beneficial owners. The depth available depends on what the DRCOR discloses. See the UBO API.
Can I retrieve official registry documents for Cyprus companies?
Yes. The default document set for Cyprus includes Registry Extract, Memorandum and Articles in Foreign Language, Memorandum and Articles, Certificate of Incorporation, retrieved by default, with additional documents available on demand (Particulars in relation to the first directors and secretary, Communication of the address of the Registered Office or change to it, Compliance Declaration According to the Law, Annual Return, Sworn affidavit in Court, Notification of change of Officers and of their particulars, and more).
