Do my documents need to be certified or apostilled for a Cyprus bank?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Usually yes for personal documents issued abroad. Banks commonly ask for passport copies certified by a lawyer or notary, and some ask for an apostille on documents from outside Cyprus. We tell you what the chosen bank wants before you book a notary, so you certify once.
