The PDF you download is in Greek — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.
The written consent of the parent who is not travelling, for their minor child to travel abroad from Cyprus with the other parent or another adult. In Cyprus it is needed even if the parents live together, and a child travelling with neither parent needs both parents' consent. It has the parent's, child's and companion's details, destinations and dates, the full text in Greek and in English, and is signed with the signature certified by a certifying officer or at a Citizen Service Centre (KEP). It is DocMuse's own text; the Government also has a form of its own.

Common questions
- Does a child leaving Cyprus with one parent need the other parent's consent?
- Yes. When a minor travels abroad from Cyprus with one parent, the other parent's written consent, with a certified signature, is needed even if the parents live together, because they exercise parental care jointly (Law 216/1990). If the child travels with someone else or alone, both parents' consent is needed; each parent can sign their own copy of this document. If the other parent will not consent, a court order is needed. For a child flying alone, the airline also has its own form.
- Where is the parent's signature on a Cypriot travel consent for a child certified?
- By a certifying officer, or at a Citizen Service Centre (KEP or KEPO). Signature certification is moving from certifying officers to these centres, and both routes are open today. The parent signs in front of the official and shows an identity card or passport; the centres charge a fee by the page. If a destination asks for an apostille, the certifying officer's signature is first confirmed by the District Administration, and the Ministry of Justice and Public Order then adds the apostille.
- Why is the Cypriot travel consent for a child also written in English?
- Because border authorities and carriers outside Cyprus read it too. The document has the full text in Greek and in English, with the same details and one signature covering both; write the names as they appear in the passport or identity card. The Government offers its own consent form free on gov.cy; this is DocMuse's own text, not the Government's. For a country outside the European Union, ask its embassy whether it also wants an official translation.

Related documents
- Invitation letter for a visa (Cyprus)
The letter in which a resident of Cyprus invites a relative or friend from a country that needs a visa, addressed to the Cypriot embassy or consulate: the host's and the guest's details, the purpose and dates of the visit, where the guest will stay and the costs the host takes on. It does not replace the official assumption of responsibility for hosting form, signed with a certified signature and backed by a bank guarantee; the letter mentions that form and states that it will be submitted if asked for.
- Request for access to public-sector information (Cyprus)
The request by which anyone asks a Cypriot ministry, department or other public authority for information and documents it holds, under Law 184(I)/2017 on the right of access to public-sector information. It describes what is asked for and how, with no reasons, which the Law does not require, and asks for a written answer within the Law's period, notice of any fee before access is given, partial access where part of the information is exempt, and the reasons for any refusal, which open the way to a complaint to the Information Commissioner.
- Will (Cyprus)
A will under the Cypriot Wills and Succession Law (Cap. 195): an executor and a substitute, specific gifts, the rest of the estate and its shares, revocation of earlier wills or only for property in Cyprus, and a choice of the law of your nationality under EU Regulation 650/2012. It is signed at the end before two witnesses present at the same time, and the testator and both witnesses sign or initial every sheet. Note: where Cypriot law governs the succession — as it does for someone habitually resident in Cyprus who has not chosen another law — anyone who leaves a spouse, children or parents can leave only part of their estate freely.
- Spouses' statement of property (Cyprus)
A joint statement in which two spouses or civil partners in Cyprus record what belongs to each, when and how it was acquired — before the marriage, by gift, by inheritance — what is shared and who contributed to what. Under Law 232/1991, if the marriage ends, a spouse who contributed to the increase in the other's property can claim a share of it, and the contribution is presumed to be one third unless shown otherwise. A statement signed in calmer times is evidence of exactly that. It waives no rights and transfers no property.
- Cohabitation agreement for unmarried partners (Cyprus)
A private agreement between two partners living together in Cyprus without marriage or a civil partnership: the shared home and who has a right to it, how expenses are split, what belongs to each and what is shared, and how they settle up if they separate. The law does not regulate informal cohabitation, so the agreement records what would otherwise have to be proved. It is not a civil partnership: that is entered into under Law 184(I)/2015, by any couple, and has the effects of marriage except adoption.
- Special power of attorney (Cyprus)
The power of attorney for one particular matter in Cyprus: a step at the Land Registry, at a bank or before another office. It describes the act precisely, the limits and how long it lasts, ends when the act is done, and is signed before a certifying officer or at a Citizen Service Centre (KEP), which certifies the signature. For use abroad it also needs an apostille. A narrow power exposes the principal less.
