Comarch is now an Accredited Certified Platform (PA) in France
We are proud to announce that Comarch e-Invoicing has officially received accreditation as a Certified Platform (PA - Plateforme Agréée) from the French tax authority.
This accreditation is a major milestone in our roadmap. It confirms that Comarch meets the rigorous technical, security, and compliance standards required by the French government to operate as a central player in the upcoming e-invoicing reform.
What is a "Certified Platform" (PA)?
If you have been following the French e-invoicing landscape, you likely know this role by its previous name: PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire). In recent regulatory updates, the French administration has transitioned to the term PA (Plateforme Agréée).
A Certified Platform is much more than just a software provider. It is a government-certified operator authorized to:
- Exchange electronic invoices directly with other PAs.
- Exchange lifecycle statuses with other PAs and the state’s central hub (PPF)
- Send mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting data to the PPF.
- Ensure the legal validity, integrity, and security of your tax data.
Why This Matters for Your Business
With the French mandate rollout set to begin in September 2026, businesses operating in France must select a partner capable of handling these regulated flows.
By choosing Comarch as your Certified Platform, you gain:
- Guaranteed Compliance: We are officially vetted to handle the specific formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII) and protocols required by the DGFiP.
- Security & Stability: This status is proof of our robust infrastructure, ensuring your data is handled with the highest level of security (ISO 27001).
- A Global Partner: Unlike local-only players, Comarch combines this deep local accreditation with a global e-invoicing network, allowing you to centralize compliance for France alongside dozens of other countries.
A Long-Term Commitment to the French Market
Achieving this status has been a strategic priority for Comarch, involving a rigorous application process and extensive technical testing. In order to reach this goal, we have dedicated significant time and resources. Of course, the work doesn't stop here, we will continue to monitor the potential changes and keep our solution up to date until September 2026 and beyond.
We are delighted to officially secure this status and to be able to deliver high-quality, fully compliant services to our clients. This accreditation stands as proof that Comarch is actively leading the way to ensure your business is safe, compliant, and ready for the future.
