# Cyprus

Company data from the Cyprus business register, through the Topograph API.

## Overview

Topograph reads DRCOR (Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies), DRCOR Open Data (data.gov.cy) and Cyprus Register of Beneficial Owners and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners of Cyprus companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |  |
| Legal representatives | Yes |  |
| Other key persons | Yes |  |
| Shareholders | Partly | Comes back in Verify. |
| Ultimate beneficial owners | By hand | Comes back in Verify. |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | No |
| UBO extract | By hand |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Πιστοποιητικό Εγγραφής
- Πιστοποιητικό Πραγματικών Δικαιούχων

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 1 s in prefill mode and 20 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
