Navigate VS&TD will Go Live in Navigate on 24 November 2025.

A reminder that throughout the Go-Live weekend ‘no news is good news’. 

If things are still on track for a launch on Monday 24 November we won’t communicate, so don’t worry if you don’t hear anything until confirmation on Monday morning.

Existing MIAFTR services will be unavailable from 12 noon on Friday 21 November. The Navigate VS&TD service is expected to be live from 12 noon on Monday 24 November. This means you’ll be unable to submit or enquire between those times because we’ll be moving data between systems and testing it thoroughly with a small number of customers. 

To avoid a backlog of API and Portal submissions next week, we recommend you get up to date by 12 noon on Friday 21 November.  

Existing Navigate MIPD customers may notice a slowdown when submitting or searching data during the migration process on Friday afternoon/evening. We’ll keep a close eye on this.

If any critical issues arise, we have scope in the weekend’s plan to address and fix them. If there are fixes that are non-critical, they will be addressed after Go-Live - we’ll let you know if we expect them to impact you.

See our VS&TD Go Live Weekend FAQs for further information about our Go Live weekend.

After VS&TD goes live in Navigate on Monday, we expect a surge in activity. We have stress-tested the platform thoroughly and don't expect any performance issues, but our team will be closely monitoring the platform and we'll let you know if we see anything.
