Cyprus Police urge public to check for outstanding court fine warrants

The Cyprus Police have issued a public advisory encouraging citizens to check for any outstanding warrants related to unpaid court-imposed fines. This initiative aims to ensure that individuals are aware of their legal obligations and can resolve potential debts through official channels before further enforcement action is taken. The process is now streamlined via the official government portal, gov.cy, allowing users to verify their status online without the initial need to visit a police station.

Citizens who identify an outstanding warrant have two options for settlement. The full amount may be paid at any police station, which are equipped to handle these payments on a 24-hour basis. Alternatively, individuals may apply for an instalment plan, which requires approval from the Attorney General of the Republic. To request this, applicants must complete a form available on the Law Office of the Republic website and submit it either via email at entalmata-filakistirion@law.gov.cy or by depositing the document in a designated collection box at the Law Office. Once instalments are approved, payments must be made strictly at the specific police units or stations assigned to the debtor’s case.
