Provisional Registration
Once approval for the provisional registration of the vessel has been granted by the Registrar of Ships such registration may then take
place either in Cyprus or in any of the Cyprus Consulates abroad. Such provisional registration is valid for six months originally and
may be extended only for another three months.
For the provisional registration the following documents duly legalised are necessary:
- A deletion certificate of the ship from the previous Registry. In the case of a new ship a certificate from the ship builders in lieu
must be submitted. In case such certificate is not at the time available, the Registrar accepts instead and until the permanent registration
a certificate issued by the previous registry stating that the vessel is free from any mortgages and other encumbrances.
- A declaration of ownership in a prescribed form.
- title of ownership (construction certificate/bill of sale/judgement or minutes in case the ship was sold in public auction/or court
order or any other legal document proving ownership).
- A certificate that the vessel maintains her class or in case of vessels under 500 grt a certificate of seaworthiness. In case of a
vessel being laid up a certificate that the vessel maintained her class until the day she was laid up.
- forms MS12 or MS12A or MS12B (according to the type of vessel) together with the MS1 (Certificate of Measurement) MS3 (Declaration
of ownership) MS10 (Ships Husband) and ?MS34 (radio licence application)
- Application for possession and operation of wireless telecommunication
