What are the DGFiP requirements for PDP certification?
Effective: 2024-06-01 · Authority: DGFiP (Direction Generale des Finances Publiques)
DGFiP PDP certification requires platforms to demonstrate technical capability to transmit and receive all mandated invoice formats, manage invoice lifecycle statuses, perform e-reporting, maintain security standards, and integrate with the PPF routing infrastructure. Certified PDPs are listed on the official DGFiP registry.
How does PDP certification work?
PDP candidates submit technical documentation and undergo functional testing by the DGFiP. The certification covers format support (Factur-X, UBL, CII), lifecycle management, e-reporting capability, security controls, and API interoperability with the PPF. Certified PDPs are listed publicly and must maintain certification through regular audits.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many PDPs are certified in France?
- The DGFiP has been issuing PDP certifications progressively. Dozens of platforms from ERP vendors, accounting software providers, and specialized e-invoicing operators have applied. The official list is maintained on the DGFiP website and updated as certifications are granted.
- Can a business operate as a PDP for its own invoices only?
- No. PDP certification is for platforms offering e-invoicing services to third parties. Businesses managing their own invoices exclusively use a certified PDP or the PPF directly. Self-built internal systems connecting to the PPF do not require PDP certification.
