DORA register of information — submission by country
Portal, accepted format, ZIP file name and submission window for the DORA register of information at BaFin, the Central Bank of Ireland, the CSSF, the AFM, DNB and the FMA Liechtenstein — each with a link to the authority’s own instructions — and what to expect for the 2027 cycle.
Check your register against the ESA and EBA rules before your authority’s window opens — SafeDORA runs in your browser and never uploads the file.
Open SafeDORA — free, in your browserThe DORA register of information is the same data set everywhere, but it is collected by each national competent authority through its own portal, in its own submission window, and not always under the same file name. A package that is perfect for one authority can be refused at upload by another. This page lists what the authorities themselves have published; each row links to its source. Checked on 2026-11-12.
What is the same everywhere
- Reference date and deadline. From 2026 the register reflects 31 December of the previous year, and the authorities pass the registers on to the ESAs by 31 March. Your authority therefore sets its own, earlier or equal, deadline for you (ESAs’ reporting FAQ).
- Content. The 15 templates and their fields are fixed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2956 — see all templates and fields.
- Checks. Whatever the portal, the package ends up in the ESAs’ validation: file and package checks, empty and duplicate keys, references between templates and the EBA validation rules — see validation rules and error codes.
Authority by authority
Windows shown are those of the 2026 cycle (reference date 31 December 2025), the latest the authorities have published in full. Authorities not listed here are missing only because their instructions were not verified for this page — look for the DORA page of your own authority.
| Country / authority | Portal | Accepted format | ZIP file name | 2026 window | Worth knowing | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany BaFin | MVP portal, procedure “Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)” | xBRL file following the ESA taxonomy, or BaFin’s own Excel template | Not stated in the notice — follow BaFin’s submission instructions | 9–30 March 2026, reference date 31 December 2025 | One of the few authorities that still accepts an Excel template; it must be BaFin’s current version. | BaFin notice on the 2026 submission period (copy published by BVI) |

The two file-name conventions
ESA convention — used by most authorities and by the ESAs themselves:
LEI.CON|IND_Country_DORA010100_DORA_ReferenceDate_CreationTimestamp.zip, for example 529900T8BM49AURSDO55.CON_DE_DORA010100_DORA_2026-12-31_20270301093000000.zip. The LEI and CON/IND must match entityID in parameters.csv, the reference date must match refPeriod, and a resubmission gets a new timestamp.
Central Bank of Ireland Portal — its own convention: CCCCCCC_YYYYMMDD_CBIREGISTERNAME.zip with the firm’s C code (CBI0012345 becomes C12345), the reporting date and the register name shown on the Portal upload screen. Inside, parameters.csv still identifies the entity by LEI.
SafeDORA recognises both. A package named the Irish way is not reported as a file-name error (information SD-NCA); the folder name, the reporting date and everything inside the package are checked as usual.
The 2027 cycle
The next registers have the reference date 31 December 2026 and are due at the ESAs by 31 March 2027, so expect submission windows in February–March 2027. As of 2026-11-12 most authorities had not yet published their 2027 windows; dates in the table above are last cycle’s and may move. Check your authority’s DORA page in January, and run your register through the checks before the window opens.
FAQ
Is the DORA register of information submitted in the same way in every EU country?
The content and the xBRL-CSV format are the same, but each national competent authority uses its own portal and submission window, and some differ in detail: BaFin also accepts its own Excel template, the Central Bank of Ireland uses its own ZIP file name, and the AFM accepts xBRL-CSV only.
What is the reference date for the 2027 DORA register submission?
31 December 2026. From 2026 the reference date is 31 December of the previous year and the authorities forward the registers to the ESAs by 31 March; each authority sets its own window before that.
How must the ZIP file be named?
Most authorities use the ESA convention LEI.CON|IND_Country_DORA010100_DORA_ReferenceDate_CreationTimestamp.zip. The Central Bank of Ireland Portal asks for CCCCCCC_YYYYMMDD_CBIREGISTERNAME.zip with the firm’s C code. In both cases the folder inside the ZIP has the same name as the ZIP.
Can I still submit the register as an Excel file?
Only where the authority says so. BaFin accepts its own Excel template next to xBRL; the AFM stopped accepting Excel in 2026 and the FMA Liechtenstein never offered it. Everywhere else assume xBRL-CSV unless your authority states otherwise.
