DORA Register of Information — AFM filing guide (2026)
Firms supervised by the AFM face a Register of Information deadline that is widely mis-stated. Most vendors quote 31 March; the AFM date is earlier. This guide sets out the real date, the format, and what AFM checks.
Filing deadline — AFM (Netherlands)
22 March 2026
Nine days before the 31 March ESA backstop most vendors quote — the most commonly missed deadline in the Netherlands.
Format required
EBA XBRL-CSV is required. Anything else is rejected on submission.
Reference date
31 December 2025.
