An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Cyprus that means Cyprus’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Cyprus, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Cyprus issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Cyprus concern company formation, property and residence. EU member: civil-status documents are exempt; corporate documents and powers of attorney need the apostille, usually with English accepted.
Authority fee: € 5.00 (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Cyprus: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Cyprus has designated: The Ministry of Justice and Public Order of the Republic of Cyprus. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Kosovo: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: € 5.00. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Greek or English; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Cyprus since April 30, 1973.
