Documents for a MiCA CASP application: business plan, programme of operations, fit-and-proper declarations, AML/CFT policies, DORA ICT plans and 25+ more.
A typical CASP application comprises 15–25 documents totaling 200–600 pages. The exact number depends on business complexity, CASP class, and your home NCA's specific requirements. The largest single documents are the AML/CFT procedures manual (often 80–150 pages) and the ICT risk management framework (40–100 pages).
Yes, templates significantly accelerate preparation. However, generic templates must be substantively adapted to your specific business model, risk profile, and target NCA. NCAs reject boilerplate-heavy applications where generic text has not been customised. Micahub's platform generates bespoke documents from your company information rather than providing static templates.
The AML/CFT policies package and the governance/fit-and-proper dossier receive the most scrutiny. These are the most common sources of Request for Information (RFI) rounds. The ICT security annex has become increasingly important since DORA entered force in January 2025.
Some NCAs require audited financial statements rather than management accounts to evidence capital adequacy. Lithuania's Bank of Lithuania may accept management accounts for startups; CySEC and MFSA typically require at least a reviewed balance sheet. The criminal records certificates for fit-and-proper assessment must be apostilled or officially legalized. This is a common delay point.
