Cyprus: templates and forms

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.

A receipt by which a private individual in Cyprus confirms receiving money from another: the sum in figures and words, what it is for, the date and method of payment, and whether it settles the whole debt or is a payment on account, with the balance left. Useful for repaying a loan, returning a deposit, selling an item or any cash payment, which otherwise leaves no trace. It is signed by the person receiving the money, and since 2026 needs no stamp duty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The power of attorney by which you appoint someone you trust to act for you in Cyprus in a range of matters: at government departments, Citizen Service Centres and local authorities, the Tax Department and Social Insurance, banks and utilities. It sets the powers, what is left out — such as selling property — whether the attorney may appoint a substitute, and how long it lasts, 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. Cyprus has no lasting power of attorney that survives the principal's loss of capacity.

A Cypriot lease of a home with no end date, running from month to month: the property, the rent and its adjustment, the deposit, bills, duties and the move-in and move-out records. Either side ends it by written notice, with the period you set, at the end of a calendar month. It records whether the home falls under the Rent Control Law of 1983, because then a tenant who stays after the tenancy ends becomes a statutory tenant and the landlord recovers possession only by court order.

A written cancellation, sent to a bank in Cyprus, of a standing order or a direct debit from your account. It names the account, the payee and the mandate or reference number, asks that nothing be debited from the date you set and that the cancellation be confirmed in writing, and is copied to the payee, because a direct debit mandate is cancelled with the payee too. An authorised direct debit can be refunded if asked within 8 weeks, and an unauthorised one within 13 months.
