01 · What changes

Requests will arrive through government portals.

Today, a cross-border request comes into your own intake, on your own process. From August 18, authorities in any EU member state can send binding orders through a government portal in the state where you register: produce data in 10 days, or 8 hours in an emergency. Miss one, and the exposure runs to 2% of worldwide annual turnover.

Implementing law in force

Draft law in progress

Not yet transposed

Opted out

Where member states stood in spring 2026. The deadline doesn't move with their readiness: the obligation lands on August 18 either way.

02 · What providers have to do

You must register, designate, and respond in time.

Every provider in scope registers in one member state, its home base, and designates a contact empowered to receive and execute orders. From then on, every EU order routes through that state's system: a second front door your team has to watch, on the regulation's calendar, not your office's. The clock starts when the order lands, not when someone sees it.

03 · Where the guide comes in

This guide walks through the process.

Ready to Receive covers the orders and the four data categories in plain language, where every member state actually stands, what operating the portal asks of your team, and the one step that keeps requests in the process you already run. It closes with a readiness checklist you can run this week. Accurate enough to brief counsel, plain enough to brief the board.
