The Ministry of Finance launched the accreditation process for electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) on its dedicated portal.

The main purpose of accreditation is to have a system in place that verifies the ability of the service providers to comply with PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) standards while ensuring controls around exchange of invoices and data reporting.

Formal requirements:

  • Company registration requirements (trade license, paid-up capital, power of attorney)
  • Tax obligations compliance (corporate tax registration certificate)
  • ISO certification (22301, 27001)
  • Insurance

Technical requirements:

  • Active PEPPOL certification (PKI certificate)
  • Details of technical design, authentication, encryption, security, support/maintenance and upgrade handling
  • Proof of minimum of two years of e-invoicing experience

The portal mentions that the accreditation process may take up to 90 working days.
