Licensing & registers

The MiCA course teaches the regime; this programme teaches its paper trail. Three sections: how authority is obtained, what the public registers can and cannot prove, and — the reason this programme exists — a method anyone can run to answer the question that matters before money moves: is this entity really MiCA-regulated?

Part 1

The doors into the regime

Who may hold authority at all — the CASP authorisation, the notification door for already-licensed financial firms, the issuer titles, and taking a licence across borders.

Part 2

The registers, and the watch

The register landscape read honestly: what the ESMA registers and the national channels each evidence, what their silences cannot mean — and what authorities actually do about firms operating without authority.

Part 3

Is this entity really MiCA-regulated?

The flagship method: eight steps from a brand name to a dated, filed answer on whether an entity really holds MiCA authority — with the omission rule that keeps the answer honest.

Deeper company: the course’s Becoming a CASP section walks the application itself with Malta as the live case study, and the Finding the unauthorised dossier reads the non-compliant register’s data in full.

As at — instrument lifecycle stages verified 2026-08-26 to 2026-08-27, per instrument (each citation above shows its own date); register figures are from the dated snapshots of 24 August 2026. Register readings in this programme work from the dated snapshots of 24 August 2026; the register's statutory character is read from the OJ text.
