Artikel 3 Eingang des Zulassungsantrags und Empfangsbestätigung

Summary What does Article 3 of the ITS on CASP authorisation say?

This article follows on from Article 2, which covers the submission of the application for authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider, and deals with what happens immediately after that submission is received.

It places a straightforward obligation on competent authorities to confirm receipt of an application and to ensure the applicant knows who is handling their case.

Important points:

Competent authorities are required to send an acknowledgement of receipt to the applicant, which can be done electronically, on paper, or both.
Competent authorities are required to include in that acknowledgement the contact details of the specific department, function, or staff member handling the application.
This article creates a direct communication link between the competent authority and the applicant from the outset of the authorisation process.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Die zuständigen Behörden übersenden dem Antragsteller auf elektronischem Weg und/oder in Papierform eine Empfangsbestätigung. Die Empfangsbestätigung enthält die Kontaktdaten der Dienststelle, der Funktion oder des Bediensteten der zuständigen Behörde, die den Antrag bearbeitet.
