Cyprus is divided into six districts, which constitute the primary level of administrative organization in the country's two-tier structure. These districts serve as the main units for implementing central government policies and delivering public services to citizens. Each district is headed by a District Officer appointed by the Ministry of Interior, who coordinates various governmental functions including civil registration, migration services, and local administration. The districts facilitate the connection between the national government in Nicosia and local municipalities, handling matters such as licensing, public records, and regulatory compliance. This administrative framework enables the government to maintain consistent service delivery across the island while accommodating regional considerations within each district's jurisdiction.
