What is covered in the criminal check?

The Court Search Cyprus provides criminal litigation information on citizens and foreigners, extracted through the First Instance Court, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Court of Cyprus.

Please note that this is a nationwide search and is not restricted to a specific locality. The address is required not for conducting the search itself, but rather as an additional identifier—used only when a second identifier is not available. In cases where search results, such as judgments, orders, or decrees, include the applicant’s address, this information supports accurate matching and verification of the retrieved records.
