The establishment of a common European asylum system which would be fair and efficient consists of an integral part of a modern and integrated policy for the management of migratory flows. A fair but a quick asylum procedure, ensures, on the one hand, that purely economic migrants would have no reason to resort to the asylum system since they would know that the rejection of their asylum claim will take place quickly, while, on the other hand, the real beneficiaries of international protection, would, in short time, enjoy the benefits provided for by international conventions and national legislation.

The Civil Registry and Migration Department (hereinafter “CRMD” or “the Department”) is the result of the consolidation of the Migration, Registration and Election Services, which were part of the Ministry of Interior [Amendment of the Civil Service (General) Regulations, Κ.Δ.Π. 921/2003].

Originally the CRMD was mainly responsible for the civil registry issues, whereas migration issues were of a smaller volume and importance. During the years and especially after the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union, the competencies of the CRMD expanded significantly mainly regarding the migration related matters.

Nowadays, the main mission of the CRMD is citizens’ service for all matters falling into its competencies. The Department also participates actively in forming policies and acts complementary to other governmental institutions.

Furthermore, the Department participates actively in woks of the European Union institutions and is in close cooperation with other European, international and local governmental and non-governmental organisations.

The Migrant Information Centre (MIC) has developed services based on our core values of listening, empathy, understanding and supporting individual vulnerable migrants. Our four offices employ highly trained personnel ready to respond in a variety of requests.

Since then it has responded to humanitarian crises on the island with the mission to provide compassionate care and support as well as to bring hope to those living in poverty, the oppressed, and the vulnerable.
