Notification forms
Credit institutions and financial institutions which have passport rights under the Banking Consolidation Directive do not have passport rights under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (although credit institutions can passport investment services under the BCD).
All other firms (providing they have the appropriate Part IV permission in the UK) can passport under more than one directive. Firms passporitng under the Consolidated Life Assurance Directive or the Third Non-Life Insurance Directive are automatically able to passport mediation business and therefore do not require a separate passport under the Insurance Mediation Directive.
Firms that wish to passport under the IMD as an additional directive are not required to complete an additional IMD notification form. Please inform us at the time of submission that you also wish to passport under the IMD confirming which EEA states.
If you are having difficulty in opening up a form or have any queries then please call the Passport Helpline on +44(0)20 7066 7188.
