What is the correct format for a Peppol address?

Use the ISO6523 format, e.g. 0208:0123456789 or 0088:5400000000001.

A Peppol address consists of two parts: the scheme and the identifier, separated by a colon.

Belgian enterprise number (0208)

For the Belgian company number, the prefix 0208 is used, followed by the full company number. The company number always starts with a 0 or a 1. For example: 0208:0xxxxxxxxx or 0208:1xxxxxxxxx.

GLN — Global Location Number (0088)

Some organizations — especially in retail, logistics, and healthcare — are registered on Peppol under their GLN instead of a national company number. The scheme code for GLN is 0088, followed by the 13-digit GLN. For example: 0088:5400000000001.

A full list of electronic address schemes is available on the Peppol EAS code list.
