The FCA has published a new webpage on passporting under MiFID II. The webpage contains links to the following forms:

  • service passport: MiFID II notice of intention to provide cross-border services or to amend existing cross-border services passport;
  • branch passport: MiFID II notice of intention to establish a branch or change branch particulars;
  • tied agent notification: MiFID II notice of intention to use a tied agent established in another EEA State or amend EEA tied agent details; and
  • multilateral trading facility / organised trading facility notification: MiFID II notice of intention to provide arrangements to facilitate the access to an MTF or an OTF from another EEA State or to amend details of these arrangements.

The FCA also mentions on its webpage:

  • wherever possible, firms should submit their service passport notifications by 2 December 2017. For notifications received after this date it will not be possible for the regulator to guarantee that the relevant notifications will be issued to the regulators concerned before 3 January 2018; and
  • firms should submit their establishment passport notifications as early as possible after the MiFID II passporting gateway opens on 31 July 2017.
