Pricing & Timescale
Price: £197 — covers the standard retrieval/replacement process for one document. Additional fees apply if multiple documents or expedited service are required.
Typical Turnaround: Usually 2-3 weeks, depending on the registry's backlog, the type of document, and whether any further verification is needed.
Urgent Cases: If you need the document quickly (e.g. for citizenship, legal deadlines), we offer fast-track options—contact us for details.
Non-Refundable: Once work starts – especially dealing with local authorities or government offices – fees are non-refundable as efforts are already underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can all lost documents be retrieved?
A: Most civil registry documents can be retrieved if you have some basic identifying information (e.g. names, date/place of birth, parents’ names). In rare cases, if records have been lost or destroyed, alternatives or secondary evidence may be required.
Q: Do I need to be in Cyprus to request replacement documents?
A: No — we often handle applications remotely. You may need to provide certified or notarised identity documents, translations, or other supporting evidence.
Q: How do I prove I am the person entitled to the document?
A: Usually via identity documents (passport/ID card), proof of relationship (for family registry), or other supporting documents. We will advise exactly what’s needed.
Q: Are translations or notarisation required?
A: Sometimes. Documents or supporting materials not in Greek/English or not officially certified may need translation/notarisation. We’ll guide you through those requirements.
