MiFID Communications
MiFID Authorisation Portal
14 August 2026
Coming Soon: Applicant Firms seeking an authorisation and all other post-authorisations under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) will be required to submit application related documentation through the Central Bank Portal.
A system guide will be published at the end of Q3 2026, allowing Investment Firms to familiarise themselves with the Central Back Portal and the new MiFID authorisations submission, and all other post-authorisations submissions, in advance of the launch date.
The Central Bank Portal offers several benefits to applicant firms including:
- Streamlined submission process - a single secure platform for processing all related authorisation submissions
- Improved transparency - clear visibility of the status of an authorisation and any follow-up requests
- Secure messaging - dedicated and secure communications channel to exchange messages and process queries
- Authorisation & document retrieval - the ability to securely access and retrieve previously submitted documentation.
Further information will be made available on the following webpage: Authorisation Process for MiFID Investment Firms.
