PEPPOL participant identifiers
Overview
To exchange electronic documents through the PEPPOL network, both senders and receivers need a globally unique address called a PEPPOL participant identifier, or PEPPOL ID.
PEPPOL IDs consist of two fields separated by a colon:
- the scheme, which defines the identifier type,
- the identifier, which is usually the company’s VAT number or business registration number.
Example:
This PEPPOL ID refers to a Dutch company with KVK 12345678.
The full participant ID used in the raw PEPPOL XML format also includes an additional superscheme prefix:
