Mandatory e-invoicing, made simple.
From 1 September 2026, every business in France must be able to receive electronic invoices. Norvae produces, validates and tracks your compliant invoices — Factur-X, UBL, CII — and delegates their transport to a registered PDP partner.
(1 September 2026)
The reform
A two-step obligation
France's B2B e-invoicing reform follows a phased schedule. The ability to receive electronic invoices becomes mandatory for every business on 1 September 2026; issuing follows according to company size. Exchanges flow through a registered Partner Dematerialisation Platform (PDP); the public invoicing portal (PPF) acts as the directory and data concentrator.
