A written claim by which someone harmed in a road accident in Cyprus asks for compensation directly from the at-fault vehicle's insurer, or from the Motor Insurers' Fund where that vehicle was uninsured or untraced. It describes the accident, both vehicles, the damage and the amount, asks for a claim number, a reasoned offer or reply, an inspection of the vehicle and payment to an IBAN, and reserves the right to go to court. It is sent by registered post or delivered against a signature; to the Fund it goes with the Fund's own claim form.

Common questions
- Who is compensation claimed from after a road accident in Cyprus?
- From the at-fault vehicle's insurer, directly: the law gives anyone harmed a claim against it, without first pursuing the driver. If the at-fault vehicle was uninsured or untraced, the claim goes to the Motor Insurers' Fund, named as the recipient, together with the Fund's own claim form. The Fund inspects the damage before repair, does not pay the first €500 of damage to property and, for an untraced vehicle, pays for property only where it also compensates serious bodily injury. With comprehensive cover, you may also turn to your own insurer.
- What is needed from the scene of a road accident in Cyprus for a claim?
- The joint accident statement, the European form, completed and signed by both drivers; the other vehicle's details and its policy; photographs; and witnesses' details. If the other driver shows no certificate of insurance, the police must be told within 24 hours; if the other vehicle was uninsured, or drove off and was not traced, tell the police so, and ask the Fund to inspect the damage before any repair. Attach all of this to the claim, together with an estimate of the repair cost.
- What if the insurer in Cyprus does not answer or rejects the claim?
- The law requires the insurer to answer with a reasoned offer or a reasoned reply within three months of the claim, as the EU motor insurance directive also requires. If it does not answer, or the answer is unsatisfactory, send the company a written complaint quoting the claim number, and keep proof of it. You may also claim the compensation in court before the claim is time-barred: for bodily injury caused by negligence, the period is three years from the damage or from learning of it (Law 66(I)/2012). The letter expressly reserves that right.

- Vehicle handover record for the buyer (Cyprus)
The record of exactly when the buyer took the vehicle: date and hour, mileage, fuel, keys, documents, accessories and condition. In Cyprus the transfer at the Road Transport Department, on form TOM 9Γ, can come days after handover, and until then the seller remains the registered owner, to whom camera fines are sent. The record proves who had the vehicle and from when the buyer bears it, and records the buyer's insurance and the deadline for the transfer.
- Used vehicle sale agreement (Cyprus)
A private agreement for the sale of a used car or motorcycle between individuals in Cyprus: the vehicle, the price and payment, handover, condition and known defects. The agreement does not change the registered owner — that is done with form TOM 9Γ at the Road Transport Department or a citizen service centre (KEP), with insurance in the buyer's name. So it binds both to complete the transfer by a set date, records the vehicle's status as to manufacturer recalls, which the Department has checked since February 2025, and puts fines on the buyer from handover.
- Owner's authorisation to drive a vehicle (Cyprus)
Insurance first: in Cyprus the policy must cover the driver, by name or under its age and experience terms, or whoever drives is uninsured, whatever authorisation they hold. On that basis, this document lets another person drive the vehicle for a set period, area and purpose, and proves the owner's consent to the police, a hire firm or a border post. It states what is forbidden, who pays fines and damage and how it is revoked, and has a summary in English.
