Once the proposed name has been approved and provided that you have taken the relevant decisions regarding the establishment of your partnership, you may proceed with the submission of the application for the partnership’s incorporation, within one (1) month from its establishment, either via e-filing or by hand post.

Online partnership registration

You may submit your request online through the Registrar’s of Companies e-filing system, by submitting the relevant online form accompanied by the following:

• solemn declaration of signature witness;
• permission, consent or pre-approval by the appropriate governmental authority or appropriate body in case it is necessary for the use of of words or expressions and/or due to the nature of business respectively, in case it has not been submitted already with the application for name approval; and
• the amount of one hundred twenty euro (€120) payable by credit card.

To accelerate the registration process of the partnership, an additional fee of forty euro (€40) is paid.

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