Obtaining ISIN and CFI codes for Cyprus company shares. Service offer

The ISIN (International Securities Identification Number) code is a 12-character alphanumeric code that does not contain information characterising a financial instrument, but serves to uniformly identify a security for trading and settlement purposes. It is regulated by ISO 6166 standard.

The CFI (Classification of Financial Instruments) code is a 6-letter code that reflects essential information about financial instruments (including their type, kind and form of issue, peculiarities of trading, redemption and other significant rights and characteristics). The CFI code is an additional important identifier of a financial instrument. It is regulated by ISO 10962 standard.

ISIN codes are assigned by national numbering agencies. In the case of Cyprus company shares, this will be the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

Our company can help you obtain ISIN and CFI codes from the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

To do this, it is necessary to submit an Application signed by the company director and specifying the following information about the company:

1. Company name;
2. Company registration number;
3. Number and par value of the shares to which the codes must be allocated;
4. Confirmation that the company has not previously applied to another numbering agency for codes.

The Application must be accompanied by the:

• Certificate of Incorporation,
• Certificate of Directors and Secretary, and
• a completed questionnaire on the company’s activities.

If the company has a corporate director, then these certificates must be provided for that corporate director as well.

It takes about 1-2 business days to review the application and issue the ISIN and CFI codes.
