Cyprus maritime flag for officer endorsement and seafarer application forms

Cyprus Flag Seafarer Services

Centralised Cyprus Maritime Administration Handling

​

All Cyprus flag endorsement applications are managed centrally by the Cyprus Maritime Administration, and original signed application forms are required for processing. At TIRM, we help simplify the process by first reviewing your documents electronically.

​

To save time and avoid errors, we request applicants to email scanned copies of all supporting documents and filled application forms. Once approved, only the signed originals need to be couriered to our office for submission.

Cyprus Endorsement Processing Time

​

Full-term Cyprus endorsements typically take around 4 weeks to be issued once the complete original documents are received by the maritime administration.

​

For Certificate of Recognition Applications (CRA), processing can begin only after the signed originals are received. Therefore, we advise applicants to allow for 4–5 working days from the time of courier dispatch to obtain the CRA required for officer endorsements.
