Updating Place of Business' address

Every business name must maintain a place of Business in the Republic of Cyprus. Following its registration, the owner of a business name may change its main place of business to any other address in the Republic of Cyprus. 

The owner of the business name must notify the Registrar of Companies of the change of address of its place of business, by submitting the form for changes to the business name's particulars (form EE2) within seven (7) days from the date of change.

As at 18/12/2020, failure to timely notify (within 7 days) the Registrar of Companies regarding the change of the place of Business' address is subject to a late filing fee not exceeding the amount of fifty euro (€50) upon the first day of non-compliance and a further charge of one euro (€1) for every day the failure to comply continues, up to the maximum amount of two hundred and fifty euro (€250).

Registering change

You can submit the form for changes to the business name's particulars (form EE2), by hand/post, accompanied by:

• the fee of forty euro (€40) and an additional fee of twenty euro (€20), in case you wish to accelerate the procedure.

The fees are payable in cash, by cheque, via an account maintained with the Department of the Registrar of Companies or by bank transfer.

You are advised to refer to the main criteria of review and most common reasons for rejection, so as to acquire a better understanding of what is required and to facilitate the process further. 

Provided that the Registrar of Companies is satisfied that all, relevant to the circumstances, legal requirements have been met he will proceed with registering the change, and issuing the certificate of changes of an individual or a company. 

In the event that the business name requires proof of the change made in the business name's register, it may request to Obtaining Business Name’s Certified Copies.
