The Process

To register your car in Cyprus it is best to use a Clearing Agent. They have all the experience and knowledge of the paperwork needed, the process and what you need to do before the registration and it really doesn’t cost a lot.

The Clearing Agent we used was in Larnaca, a short distance from the registration office. The lady who dealt with our registration was very professional and she definitely new the system inside out.

The clearing agent will tell you exactly what paperwork is needed before registering your car. To give you an idea of which documents are required, I have listed below what we were asked to produce.

We had to supply the clearing agent with the following;

The Yellow slip you’re given by Customs & Excise when your car arrived in Cyprus.

The letter from Nicosia Customs House granting duty free status. Or, If you paid the duty directly to customs on arrival of the car, you will need to take the receipt to the clearing office. Also required;

Log book, UK MOT certificate. Car Insurance Certificate

The clearing agent will also arrange a Cyprus MOT which is required before registering your car. It will be included in the price of the service, if you wish.

It’s possible that, since our experience, there may have been some changes to registering your car in Cyprys. ie; part of the process or documents required. The clearing agent will let you know.

It is much less hassle to get the Clearing Agent to make all arrangements; it is much quicker than trying to do it yourself.
