The Insurance Distribution Directive requires all intermediaries to be registered. Intermediaries may not only be registered in their home country but may also be entitled to operate cross-border from another EU Member State where they were originally registered.
The information below shows the authority responsible for the national register and a direct link to the register.
Disclaimer
According to Article 3(4), IDD, EIOPA is required to "establish, publish on its website and keep up-to-date a single electronic register containing records of insurance, reinsurance and ancillary insurance intermediaries which have been notified their intention to carry on cross-border business." This website serves as a provisional database of hyperlinks to national registers. EIOPA is assessing the most adequate long term approach towards an online register by analogy to existing EIOPA registers to further enhance transparency and facilitate cross-border trade.
If you have problems with a national register, please contact the national competent authority.
EIOPA is not responsible for verifying the information accessed through the links on this page.
