National quarterly report of insurance undertakings (NB UMVU)

A regulatory return listed by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) (BaFin), Germany.

The quarterly interim report on business development under BerVersV section 19 (F.601.01 life, F.602.01 Pensionskassen, F.603.01 health, F.604.01 property and casualty and reinsurance), filed together with the quarterly investment reports set by two BaFin collective orders: F.670.01 (composition of investments), F.671.01 (book and fair values and cover of technical liabilities) and F.660.01 (derivatives, forward deals and structured products) for small insurers and Pensionskassen; F.674.01 and F.675.01 (book and fair values, hidden reserves and losses, and the quarterly cover of technical liabilities by the guarantee assets) for Solvency II undertakings.

The facts

Who files
Insurance undertakings with registered office in Germany supervised by BaFin (BerVersV section 19). F.670.01, F.671.01 and F.660.01: small insurers, Pensionskassen and separate accounting units of public-law pension schemes; small mutual associations with investments up to EUR 5 million are exempt for the first three quarters (collective order of 19.03.2025). F.674.01 and F.675.01: Solvency II undertakings (collective order of 18.03.2025). Source
How often
Quarterly, for reporting dates 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. Source
Deadline
No later than the end of the month after the reporting quarter (BerVersV section 20; both collective orders). Source
Format
XBRL-XML, Excel, PDF. One ZIP container per report named NB_<register number>_UMVU_<period YYYYMM>.zip, uploaded to the MVP Portal (procedure 'Versicherungsaufsicht', submission 'Nationales Berichtswesen (Präfix NB)'). Quantitative part: one XBRL file based on BaFin's national taxonomy, or BaFin's macro-enabled Excel forms (.xlsm), which BaFin converts to XBRL and validates. Qualitative part: one PDF/A-1a, -2a or -3a file. The register number, not the LEI, identifies the firm. A test submission is available in 'TEST: Versicherungsaufsicht'. The quantitative parts of all forms with the same deadline (F.660.01, F.670.01, F.671.01 or F.674.01, F.675.01, and the line-of-business form F.601.01 to F.604.01) go in one XBRL file; a correction resubmits them all. Source
How it is filed
Filing routes recorded for the BaFin: MVP Portal (Melde- und Veröffentlichungsplattform, reporting and publishing platform); Direct submission to BaFin outside the MVP Portal. See how firms file with the BaFin.
Status
In forceThe XBRL-based national reporting applies from reporting dates in 2025 (taxonomy 1.0.0) and 2026 (taxonomy 1.1.0). Before that, formatted forms were filed in the procedure 'Versicherungsaufsicht - Meldeformulare', which BaFin says can only be used for reporting dates up to 31 December 2024. Source

Validation rules

658 rules, as counted from the BaFin's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: XBRL Formula value assertions in BaFin's taxonomy package, also listed in an Excel file (expression, severity ERROR or WARNING, message).

The Excel validation list linked under taxonomy 1.1.0 is the 1.0.0 file (5,990 rules) and lacks rules added in 1.1.0. BaFin rejects a report whose content or format breaks the published rules; the MVP protocol shows acceptance or rejection with errors and warnings.

The rules, on bafin.de

How they were counted

Value assertion files (val/vr-*.xml, not counting -err- message files) in BaFin_VA_NB_XBRL-Taxonomie 1.1.0 for the 11 forms of entry point um_vu as assigned in the 'Modules' sheet of the annotated templates: 658 rules, less 0 deactivated for taxonomy 1.1.0 in 'Deaktivierte Validierungen' (28.09.2026). The 7 rules of F.020.01 are counted in every entry point.

Counts are in the BaFin's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
