Understanding Peppol Lookup Results

What "Peppol Ready" Means

When a company shows as Peppol Ready, they have:

Registered on the Peppol network
Connected through a certified Access Point provider
A valid Peppol participant identifier
The technical capability to receive UBL e-invoices

You can confidently send them Peppol e-invoices.

What "Not Registered" Means

Companies showing Not Registered:

Have not yet joined the Peppol network
Cannot receive Peppol e-invoices
Must register before January 2026 to comply with Belgian law
May face invoice processing delays after the mandate
