CASP Authorisation Portal Submission Guide
Page last updated: 24 March 2026
We wish to draw your attention to a detailed Systems Submission Guide (PDF 1.65MB), which has been developed to assist applicant firms in submitting their applications via the Portal.
Applicant firms are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the content of this System Submission Guide, to support the provision of a complete and accurate application and to minimise potential delays in the assessment process.
The System Submission Guide should be used in conjunction with all other applicable authorisation documentation and guidance issued by Central Bank of Ireland

Page last updated: 21 January 2026
In early Q2 2026, applicant firms seeking a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence under MiCAR will be required to submit all application related documentation through the Central Bank Portal.
A system guide will be published at the end of Q1 2026, allowing applicant firms to familiarise themselves with the Central Back Portal and the new CASP application submission 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 application related submissions.
- Improved transparency: Clear visibility of the status of an application and any follow-up requests.
- Secure Messaging: A dedicated and secure communications channel to exchange messages and process queries.
- Application & Document Retrieval: The ability to securely access and retrieve previously submitted documentation.
Further information will be made available on the following webpages:
