Cyprus Passport Application (Application for the Issue/Reissue of a Passport or Temporary Passport)

The Ministry of Interior's Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD) application form for the issue, reissue, or loss/theft/wear-and-tear replacement of a Republic of Cyprus passport or temporary passport (laissez passer). Opens Cyprus's Passport vertical (1 of 6) — the registry's 74th jurisdiction. This document models every applicant-facing field: the request-type selection; the applicant's identity, address, and marital-status particulars; the father's, mother's, and (where applicable) spouse's identity details; the applicant's own passport history (other Cyprus passports, foreign passports, prior loss); the Section VI declaration completed by a parent or guardian when the applicant is a minor; and the Section VII declaration completed by the applicant when over 18. It excludes the form's own printed "FOR OFFICIAL USE" block (issued passport number, receiving office, application/receipt numbers, a biometric-capture checkbox, and a 7-way passport-type classification), the officer's own countersignature line, and the page-4 instructions prose beyond the discrete supporting-document list it enumerates — none of these are applicant-supplied data. Filing this application is a citizen action performed in person with the CRMD (submission is not available online); this schema does not file the application itself, and the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Cyprus or its Ministry of Interior.

  • addressStreet string required

    Street of the applicant's address.

  • addressHouseNumber string required

    House number of the applicant's address.

    Applicant's home telephone number.

    classification: pii
  • workTelephoneNumber string optional

    Applicant's work telephone number.

    classification: pii
  • fatherIdentityCardNumber string required

    Father's Cyprus Identity Card number. Printed without any "if applicant is a minor" qualifier, unlike Section VI, so modelled as required for every applicant regardless of age.

    classification: pii
  • fatherName string required

    Father's given name.

    classification: pii
  • fatherSurname string required

    Father's surname. The form prints "Surname" for the father's row and "Family Name" for the equivalent mother's row (see `motherFamilyName`) — kept as printed rather than normalized to one term.

    classification: pii
  • fatherDateOfBirth date required

    Father's date of birth.

    classification: pii
  • fatherPlaceOfBirth string required

    Father's place of birth.

  • fatherNationality string required

    Father's nationality.

  • fatherPassportNumber string optional

    Father's own Cyprus passport number, where he holds one.

  • motherIdentityCardNumber string required

    Mother's Cyprus Identity Card number. Printed without any "if applicant is a minor" qualifier, unlike Section VI, so modelled as required for every applicant regardless of age.

    classification: pii
  • motherName string required

    Mother's given name.

    classification: pii
  • motherFamilyName string required

    Mother's surname. The form prints "Family Name" for the mother's row and "Surname" for the equivalent father's row (see `fatherSurname`) — kept as printed rather than normalized to one term.

    classification: pii
  • motherDateOfBirth date required

    Mother's date of birth.

    classification: pii
  • motherPlaceOfBirth string required

    Mother's place of birth.

  • motherNationality string required

    Mother's nationality.

  • motherPassportNumber string optional

    Mother's own Cyprus passport number, where she holds one.

  • spouseIdentityCardNumber string optional

    Spouse's Cyprus Identity Card number. Section IV carries no explicit conditional marker tying it to `maritalStatus`, so it is modelled as unconditionally optional rather than `requiredWhen maritalStatus equals MARRIED` — applicants leave it blank when not applicable.

    classification: pii
  • spouseName string optional

    Spouse's given name.

    classification: pii
  • spouseSurname string optional

    Spouse's surname.

    classification: pii
  • spouseDateOfBirth date optional

    Spouse's date of birth.

    classification: pii
  • spousePlaceOfBirth string optional

    Spouse's place of birth.

  • spouseNationality string optional

    Spouse's nationality.

  • spousePassportNumber string optional

    Spouse's own passport number.

  • hasOtherCyprusPassport boolean required

    Whether the applicant holds any other current Cyprus passport.

  • otherCyprusPassportOrTravelDocumentNumber string optional

    The other Cyprus passport's number. The source form captions this single input box with two stacked labels, "Passport No." and "Travel Document No.", with no visual separation between them — both are preserved here rather than guessing which one the box is for.

  • hasForeignPassport boolean required

    Whether the applicant holds a passport from a country other than Cyprus.

  • foreignPassportNumber string optional

    The foreign passport's number.

  • foreignPassportCountryOfIssue string optional

    The country that issued the foreign passport.

  • hasLostCyprusPassport boolean required

    Whether the applicant has ever lost a Cyprus passport.

  • applicantIsMinor boolean required

    Whether the applicant is a minor (under 18). Not a printed checkbox on the form itself — the form instead renders two separate, mutually exclusive declaration sections (Section VI for underage applicants, Section VII for applicants over 18) — but modelled explicitly here since it gates which of the two applies.

  • underageApplicantFullName string optional

    The minor applicant's full name, as filled into the parents'/guardian's declaration sentence.

    classification: pii
  • fatherConsentSignature string optional

    The father's printed name, standing in for their physical signature, consenting to the minor applicant's passport request. Modelled `requiredWhen applicantIsMinor` as the section's own printed default; the page-4 instructions carve out two exceptions not expressible in this grammar: a Family Court sole-custody order lets the other parent sign alone, and a guardian's signature (`guardianConsentSignature`) can stand in for both parents' entirely.

    classification: pii
  • fatherConsentIdentityCardNumber string optional

    Father's Identity Card number, re-entered beside his consent signature. Distinct from `fatherIdentityCardNumber` in Section II only in printed location; both are expected to carry the same value.

    classification: pii
  • motherConsentSignature string optional

    The mother's printed name, standing in for their physical signature, consenting to the minor applicant's passport request. Modelled `requiredWhen applicantIsMinor` as the section's own printed default; see `fatherConsentSignature`'s description for the disclosed sole-custody/guardian exceptions.

    classification: pii
  • motherConsentIdentityCardNumber string optional

    Mother's Identity Card number, re-entered beside her consent signature. Distinct from `motherIdentityCardNumber` in Section III only in printed location; both are expected to carry the same value.

    classification: pii
  • guardianConsentSignature string optional

    The legal guardian's printed name, standing in for their physical signature, consenting to the minor applicant's passport request in place of both parents. Unlike the father and mother, the guardian has no biographical block anywhere else on the form (no name/date-of-birth/nationality fields exist to model) — only this signature and ID-card-number line. Left unconditionally optional since it is an alternative path to `fatherConsentSignature`/`motherConsentSignature`, not an additional requirement, and GSP-0013's `requiredWhen` grammar has no "either this pair or that field" primitive to express the true either/or constraint.

    classification: pii
  • guardianConsentIdentityCardNumber string optional

    Legal guardian's Identity Card number, re-entered beside their consent signature.

    classification: pii
  • applicantSignature string optional

    The applicant's own printed name, standing in for their physical signature, attesting to the Section VII declaration. Applies only when the applicant is over 18 (Section VI applies instead for minors).

    classification: pii
  • declarationDate date optional

    Date the Section VII declaration is signed by the applicant.

Verification record

Candidate selection

GOV-4121 ("GovSchema Standard Research") found no pre-banked candidate at cycle start — the prior cycle's Austria DMV / Netherlands Visa pair (GOV-4092/GOV-4094) had both been authored (GOV-4100, GOV-4107). A fresh scan of every remaining single-vertical-gap jurisdiction (BR/CH/PL/SK/MK Visa, GR/HU National ID, and Kazakhstan's/Jordan's/Morocco's remaining verticals) found each one already a confirmed dead end recorded in an earlier cycle, so this cycle scouted three brand-new jurisdictions in parallel instead: Latvia, Saudi Arabia, and Cyprus, none yet in the registry.

  • Saudi Arabia: dead end across all six verticals. Every service (Absher traffic/DMV, the Saudi Business Center, ZATCA tax registration, Jawazat passport issuance, Iqama/national-ID) funnels through Nafath national SSO or a structurally circular Absher login (which itself requires an existing national ID to authenticate); moi.gov.sa was network-unreachable and visa.visitsaudi.com returned a WAF block to automated fetch. No unauthenticated first-party form or field-level guide found for any vertical.
  • Latvia: Business Formation is a strong, genuinely open candidate — the Register of Enterprises' KR2 sole-trader registration form, served directly and unauthenticated as a native .docx at apraksti.ur.gov.lv/lv/KR2%20veidlapa. Left as pre-scouted backlog (see the Known Gaps update) rather than authored this cycle, since Cyprus's Passport candidate was stronger on freshness and simplicity.
  • Cyprus: won this cycle. Passport (CRMD) is a genuine, unauthenticated, dated (November 2025) first-party PDF with clear field-by-field structure once rendered; Cyprus's Visa form is a confirmed field-for-field duplicate of the EU-harmonized Schengen Annex I template already modelled at de/auswaertiges-amt/national-visa-application (not a fresh win, despite Cyprus being outside Schengen); Business Formation's HE1 incorporation form must be sworn before a Cyprus lawyer in court, not self-service; DMV's first-party host (mcw.gov.cy) is currently unreachable mid-domain-migration; Taxes (TD1) has migrated fully to the login-gated TAXISnet/TFA e-filing system; National ID requires CY Login SSO. Passport was the clear strongest of Cyprus's six.

Structure of the source

Five pages. pdfjs-dist's getFieldObjects() returns null and the page annotation arrays are empty — this is a flat, non-AcroForm scanned PDF, not a fillable form. Its embedded OCR text layer is badly garbled (checkbox rows extract as fragments like 0Married Osingle 0 Divorced, and several header lines are unrecoverable noise), so every field in this schema was derived from a direct visual read of each page rendered at 3x scale via pdfjs-dist + node-canvas, not the text layer — the same technique this registry used for other badly-OCR'd or checkbox-dense flat scans (e.g. at/bmi/driving-licence-application, GOV-4100). Page 4 is instructions prose (including the numbered supporting-document list modelled as documents[] below); page 5 was confirmed genuinely blank by direct visual inspection of its render, not assumed from a truncated text dump.

Page 1 splits into an applicant-facing top block (the Issue/Reissue/ Replacement request-type checkboxes, plus an "ATTENTION" notice) and a "FOR OFFICIAL USE" block beneath it covering the assigned passport number, receiving office, application/receipt numbers, a "Taking of biometric features" checkbox, and a 7-way "Type of Passport" classification (biometric/non-biometric/diplomatic/service/limited-validity/refugee/ temporary). All of the latter sits inside the form's own "FOR OFFICIAL USE" bounding box with no visual separation from the unambiguous clerk-only intake fields beside it, so the entire block — including "Type of Passport," despite nominally describing something an applicant might expect to select — is modelled as office-only and excluded from fields[], consistent with this registry's convention for other jurisdictions' clerk-only intake/classification sections.

Disclosed source-fidelity findings

  1. Sections II/III (parents' details) carry no minor-only qualifier. Unlike Section VI ("...OF UNDERAGE APPLICANTS," printed explicitly), Sections II and III ("FATHER'S DETAILS"/"MOTHER'S DETAILS") have no conditional marker restricting them to minor applicants. Modelled as required for every applicant regardless of age.
  2. Asymmetric label for the same concept. The father's row is headed "Surname"; the mother's equivalent row is headed "Family Name." Kept as printed (fatherSurname vs. motherFamilyName) rather than silently normalized to one term.
  3. One input box, two stacked labels. Section V(i)'s box is captioned "Passport No." directly above "Travel Document No.," with no visual separator distinguishing which label the blank line actually belongs to. Modelled as a single field (otherCyprusPassportOrTravelDocumentNumber) with both labels preserved in its own label text, rather than guessing.
  4. The guardian party has no biographical block. Unlike the father and mother, who each get a full name/DOB/nationality/passport-number block in Sections II/III, the guardian appears only inside the Section VI declaration — a signature line and an ID-card-number line, nothing else. No guardianName/guardianDateOfBirth field exists to model, because none is printed anywhere on the form.
  5. Section VI's true consent rule is not a strict AND. The section's own text asks for both parents' (or the guardian's) signature for every minor applicant, but the page-4 instructions carve out two exceptions: a Family Court sole-custody order lets the other parent sign alone, and the guardian's signature is a full alternative to both parents', not an addition to them. GSP-0013's requiredWhen grammar has no "exactly one of, unless N, in which case a different M" primitive to express this — the same limitation il/moin/dr1-passport-application disclosed for its own single-parent-consent rule. fatherConsentSignature/ motherConsentSignature are modelled requiredWhen applicantIsMinor as the section's own printed default; the exceptions are disclosed here, not encoded.
  6. applicantIsMinor is not a printed checkbox. As with il/moin/dr1-passport-application's own applicantIsMinor, this form instead renders two separate, mutually exclusive declaration sections — Section VI for underage applicants, Section VII for applicants over 18 — and the schema models the gating boolean directly rather than inferring it from a nonexistent checkbox.
  7. Two page-4 document requirements are narrower than the schema's requiredWhen can express. The police certificate (D.3) is textually tied to loss/theft specifically, while applicationType: REPLACEMENT also covers wear-and-tear (which would not need a police report); the Cypriot-citizenship certificate (D.7.ii) is textually tied to naturalization/registration specifically, while every ISSUE (first-time) applicant is modelled as needing it, including those who are Cypriot by birth. Both narrowings are disclosed in the affected documents[] entries' own sourceRef rather than encoded, since neither distinction has a corresponding field on the form.

Conformance

2 valid mock scenarios (conformance/cy/crmd/passport-application/1.0.0/valid-adult-first-time.json, an adult first-time applicant with no other-passport history; valid-minor-both-parents-consent.json, a minor applicant whose reissue application is signed by both parents) plus 8 mutation-control fixtures (a missing statically-required field; a missing father-consent signature while applicantIsMinor is true; a missing other-Cyprus-passport number while hasOtherCyprusPassport is true; a missing birth-certificate document while applicationType is ISSUE; an invalid sex enum value; an invalid applicationType enum value; an unknown top-level field; and a missing applicant-signature while applicantIsMinor is false) are committed under conformance/cy/crmd/passport-application/1.0.0/.

An ephemeral, from-scratch mock validator (deriving required/requiredWhen rules directly from this schema's own fields[]/documents[], not committed) ran all 10 fixtures: both valid scenarios at 0 errors, all 8 mutation controls each raising exactly 1 error, and confirmed every requiredWhen field reference resolves (0 dangling references).

node tools/validate.mjs and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs both pass at 568/568 for the full registry, individually and as part of the full run.

Scope boundaries

This document models only the applicant-facing side of the form: the request-type selection, applicant/father/mother/spouse identity blocks, the applicant's own passport-history questions, and the age-appropriate declaration section (VI or VII). It excludes the form's own "FOR OFFICIAL USE" block (see above) and the officer's own countersignature line at the bottom of page 3. Submission is in-person only, at a District Authority, Citizen Service Centre, or Cypriot consulate/embassy abroad — no online filing channel exists for this form. This schema does not submit anything on an applicant's behalf and does not imply endorsement by, or affiliation with, the Republic of Cyprus or its Ministry of Interior.
