Important dates in Europe
Last updated 25 September 2026
Rule changes, fee changes, deadlines and renewal windows in the ten countries, each from the authority that sets it, plus the public holidays. The News page and the calendar subscription are built from this list.
Authorities move a deadline that falls on a weekend to the next working day; we do not move it for them. Dates are added by the editorial team when an authority publishes them.
