How do I send an e-invoice to a public administration office?

If your client is part of the public administration, you should ask which General Entry Point (GEP) for invoices they use and what their DIR3 codes are. See: What are DIR3 codes?

Once you know which GEP the office uses and their DIR3 codes, the steps to follow to send an invoice are the same as for a private client, except you need to indicate the following additional information in your client’s sending preferences:

  1. The GEP your client uses and the sending method. (GEP is the General Entry Point used by public administration offices to receive invoices).
  2. The type of e-invoice, which will be the v 3.2 format in this case.
