CASP Authorisation Portal (Go Live)
Page last updated: 2 April 2026
From the 02 April 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.
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.
We wish to draw your attention to a detailed Systems Submission Guide (PDF 1.58MB), 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
