DORA Register of Information — AFM filing guide (2027 cycle)
Firms supervised by the AFM should expect a Register of Information deadline earlier than the EU-wide 31 March backstop — in 2026 it was 22 March. AFM has not yet announced its 2027 date. This guide sets out what's confirmed, the format, and what AFM checks.
Filing deadline — AFM (Netherlands)
Not yet announced
AFM's 2026 cycle deadline was 22 March — nine days ahead of the EU-wide 31 March backstop. AFM has not yet announced its 2027 date as of August 2026; check AFM's DORA register page before you plan around a specific date.
Format required
EBA XBRL-CSV is required. Anything else is rejected on submission.
Reference date
31 December 2026.
What AFM checks
- LEI checksums on every provider against GLEIF
- Cross-table referential integrity
- Exit-strategy and audit-rights clauses on critical providers
Common errors that get flagged
- Assuming the 31 March EU-wide backstop applies without checking whether AFM sets an earlier 2027 date (it has every previous cycle)
- Invalid LEIs and broken references
- Missing exit clauses on critical or important functions
Who's in scope
- Investment firms
- Payment institutions
- Crypto-asset service providers (CASPs)
