Guidance

Updating the registered office address

Every european company must maintain a registered office in the Republic of Cyprus where all notifications and notices required by law can be sent. Following registration, a European company may change the registered office to any other address in Cyprus. 

In case of change in the registered office address, the company is obliged to notify accordingly, the Registrar of Companies by submitting form ΗΕ2 within fourteen (14) days from the change.

Filing a change

You can submit the notification of change of the registered office (form HE2), by hand/post, accompanied by:

• a declaration by the company’s secretary stating that all changes are according to the company’s register, kept in the registered office;
• the fee of twenty euros (€20) and an additional fee of twenty euros (€20) in case an accelerated procedure is required (payable in cash, by cheque, via an account maintained with the Department of Registrar of Companies or by bank transfer).

It is noted that, in case you wish for a certificate to be issued, you can pay alternatively an accelerated fee on the certificate instead of the document.

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 updating the companies register.

In the event that the European company requires proof of the change made in the companies register, it may request to obtain certified copies of the change.

Αs from February 12th, 2021, the redesigned form ΕΔ7 has been implemented which concerns the updating of directors. Hereby, the notification of change of the registered office is submitted through form HE2.
