Guide: how to register for a customs / EORI number in Cyprus

To register in the Cyprus Customs Registry and receive your EORI number, you complete form C.1000 (Τελ.1000) and submit it with copies of your company certificates. Here is the whole process, step by step.

Step 1 — Gather the required documents

Before completing the application, prepare clear copies of the following:

• VAT Registration Certificate (if applicable)
• Certificate of Company Registration (for companies)
• Certificate of Directors and Secretary (for companies)

Important: every single page of the application form and all attached certificates must be initialed (monogrammed) by an authorised person.

Step 2 — Fill out the application form (Τελ.1000)

Complete the form in capital letters using blue or black ink:

• Entity & tax details (sections 1–3): your official company name, registration number and Cyprus VAT number — as well as EU VAT numbers, if applicable.
• Contact information (sections 4–5): your registered business address, mailing address, contact person and entity type (e.g. Ltd company, self-employed, partnership).
• Customs representation (sections 6–7): the authorised customs broker handling your clearances — for example Tsaggaris Bros Clearing Ltd, customs clearing agent's permit no. 436/98.
• Public EORI database choice (section 10): indicate whether you consent to your company details being published on the EU's online EORI verification database.

Step 3 — Signatures & authorisation

To prevent delays, make sure the application is signed strictly according to these rules:

• The application must be signed and initialed only by a person explicitly listed on the Certificate of Directors.
• Complete the formal declaration at the bottom (section 11) with your full name, signature, date and role (e.g. Director).

For the signature and initials to be accepted by Cyprus Customs, they must be verified in one of two ways:

• Option A — in person: sign and initial the application directly in front of a Customs Officer at your local District Customs Office upon submission.
• Option B — certified signature: complete, sign and initial all pages beforehand, then have your signature formally certified by an authorised official (such as a Certifying Officer / Κοινοτάρχης) before handing it in.

Step 4 — Submission

Submit the fully completed form, together with all initialed copies of your certificates, to your local District Customs Office — or hand them to your designated clearing agent for processing.

This guide is general information about the standard procedure; the Customs authority may request additional documents in individual cases. If you would rather not deal with any of it, send us the paperwork and we will handle the registration and represent you as your clearing agent — see our customs clearing service.
