As the e-invoicing landscape in France accelerates toward the 2026 mandate, Basware is proud to announce a major regulatory milestone: as of 18 December, the French tax authorities (DGFiP) have officially confirmed Basware as a Certified Platform (Plateforme Agrée – PA).
This certification is a critical achievement within the ongoing national e-invoicing and e-reporting reform and positions Basware at the forefront of compliance readiness for the French market.
The certification follows the successful completion of every requirement of the PA registration process, including end-to-end qualification tests with the Public Invoicing Platform (PPF), interoperability testing with another certified PA operator, and the submission and validation of all required evidence and compliance documentation.
Achieving these validations demonstrates that Basware’s platform meets the highest compliance, security, and reliability standards defined by the French administration. This formally confirms that Basware is fully aligned with the technical, operational, and regulatory prerequisites of the French e-invoicing and e-reporting mandate.
Becoming a confirmed PA operator is more than a certification—it is a strategic milestone for our customers and partners navigating one of Europe’s most ambitious digital compliance reforms.
