MiCA-authorised crypto operators
Is your exchange authorised under the MiCA regulation?
Type your exchange name or website and pick your country. We tell you whether it holds a MiCAR licence, which services it is authorised for and which countries it can operate in — based on the official ESMA register, updated daily.
How we read the verdict
Four possible outcomes, under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) and the public ESMA registers.
Authorized
Holds a MiCAR licence as a CASP and is passported into your country: it can serve you legally.
With reservation
Authorised in another EU member state but not (yet) passported into your country.
Reported
Flagged by an authority as a non-compliant or unauthorised operator: best avoided.
Not in the register
No match in the ESMA registers: double-check the operator’s name and official website.

What the MiCA regulation is
Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR) is the European framework for crypto-assets. It requires operators — Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) — to obtain authorisation from a national authority, which reviews their governance, capital requirements, IT security and anti-money-laundering controls. The authorisation also specifies which services the operator may offer and which countries it is passported into.
This tool is for information only and does not constitute legal or tax advice. An operator’s authorisation status can change: the source of truth always remains the official ESMA register and the competent authorities. Data: official ESMA registers (authorised CASPs and entities reported as non-compliant).

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean for an exchange to be «MiCA-authorised»?
It means it has obtained authorisation as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) from a national authority in an EU member state under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR), and is listed in the public register maintained by ESMA. The authorisation also specifies which services (custody, exchange, order execution, etc.) the operator may offer and which countries it is «passported» into.
How can I check whether my exchange is authorised?
Type the exchange name or website in the tool at the top of this page and select your country. We match it against the official ESMA register of authorised CASPs and the list of entities reported as non-compliant, returning a clear verdict.
What does it mean for an operator to be «passported» into my country?
A MiCAR licence obtained in one member state can be extended («passported») to other EU states by notification. An operator authorised elsewhere can serve you legally only if it has passported its licence into your country.
Is CheckSig authorised under MiCAR?
Yes. CheckSig S.r.l. Società Benefit is authorised by CONSOB as a CASP under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 and is listed in the ESMA public register for custody, exchange, order execution and transfer of crypto-assets.
Where does the data come from and how often is it updated?
The data comes from the official ESMA registers (authorised operators and reported entities) and is refreshed automatically every day. The source of truth always remains the ESMA register and the competent authorities.
